Hilarious scenes as the Conference app goes live. Dawn Foster, a journalist, alerted them to the security leaks, but it still took over an hour for someone to respond.

They've essentially made every journalist, politician and attendee's mobile number public. Fantastic.

A security flaw allowed anyone who downloaded the app to log in as any attendee to the party conference, which begins in Birmingham tomorrow, using only their email address. No password was required to view any attendee's personal details, including their mobile phone number.

People have been logging in as Boris Johnson and linking his name to various websites.

That’s 20 million less they’ll be passing onto their mates and cronies.

Most Tories are dusty old duffers, they have no idea about apps and stuff.

After last week’s anti-Semitic rally in Manchester, it will be good to get back to proper politics this week.

You can’t help yourself can you? Love the way you try and hide your right wing leaning but it keeps on coming out when you let your guard down.

Alternatively....

You have a different opinion to me, and that isn't fair!

You think that was me letting my guard down? Something just slipped out without me realising it?

Sorry - in future I'll put loads of smilies so everyone can get the joke.

I am right of centre - I've never pretended otherwise - but only just. I've voted Labour in the past and I've not voted Conservative for many elections. Hope this helps.
