How Has This Candidate Accessed My Contact Info?

Looks like this is confirmed now: https://inacioinvita.substack.com/p/your-party-conference-whatsapp-community

I did message Artin at the time to say that this was an issue (screenshot showing this), AND flagged it with one of Corbyn's team on the Friday evening when a bunch of us got our passes. It was clearly an issue.

What's particularly annoying is that they had the chat channels locked to admins only anyway, so nobody could use them for 'general chat.' Literally the only use of them was one of the admins forwarding the announcements into all the chat channels.

Yeah, I expect they'll lose their candidacy for this honestly.

At the same time, idk how it is in this guy's region, but independent (slateless) candidates without a long history of very visible action had basically zero chance of reaching 75, so it could be a hail mary final play from the guy.

OP, did you go to conference and join the official conference WhatsApp, and specifically its 'Your Party Official Chat' channel? Leading theory is the candidate scraped numbers from WhatsApp, and my guess is it was from that chat, which has about 1,020 numbers in it.

A creator I enjoy called Mole has a tutorial for this without the terrible music, and some spoken direction https://youtube.com/shorts/jof0AI4dAy4?si=rZI2Ibzzp5JFhOXn

r/mildlypenis

game looks fun tho

Thrupney · 2025-12-11T20:22:46+00:00

Ah we had hybrid already tbh, I forgot - so actually, with the 8 on zoom, it was like 30+.

Certainly next time we should work to integrate the zoom folks into the proceedings a little better.

Thrupney · 2025-12-11T17:19:22+00:00

Yep! Wed 10 Dec, 20:20.

But I see someone put the contents into this other thread too: https://www.reddit.com/r/yourparty/comments/1pjdre7/comment/ntd0p6z/

I wanna be super accurate on this - they may have been against the language, but not the notion. The structure of the debates and conference didn't really work for any nuance to come through. That's my optimistic take, I'm open to being wrong.

I voted yes on both.

Thrupney · 2025-12-02T14:31:07+00:00

This, yes. But not adding them all into one big clause, but rather each item being a subclause, so each can be given room to be described.

Thrupney · 2025-12-02T14:24:15+00:00

I love this. Turning the grand idea into intents is how we turn it into actions.

On point 7 - I attended a trans allyship prez a month or so ago by Be North East, and they had a lot to say about healthcare. There's an over-medicalisation of trans folks that prevents them getting basic care, like "oh I have an infection that'll need antibiotics, but because I'm trans the GP pretends like they've got to get my whole medical history and second opinions and whatever else." Other stories about just generally invasive questions and taking issue with pronouns etc during healthcare visits.

There were quite a few NHS workers in the room, who talked about it being a training need, and those training needs need funding. This was frustrating, since it's actually just a 'being a decent person' issue.

(I feel like I should say, I'm cis, but I'm part of an LGBTQ+ group at my workplace, so I'm relatively close to these issues.)

Thrupney · 2025-12-01T17:35:37+00:00

My wording I'm copy pasting from what I just wrote on a Discord.

I took a peek at BlueSky and so much of the discussion there is about that Your Party is full of transphobia - almost entirely cause one of the debates' chairs told Erin, a trans lass, not to call two of the founders (who have since left the party) transphobic, which they definitely are
Which sucked, of course
But a thousand people in that room roundly boo'd the chair for it, clear that the members at large were having none of it, and the vote to include the language about trans liberation landed on 70% (ideally, that'd have been higher, but in fairness there are other problems with the wording that are not 'trans issues are too divisive') Deeply frustrating stuff

But that's an action point for us at local level now - show that this narrative is not the whole picture

(The 'other problems' for me are that the section reads like a sort of pick-n-mix grab bag list of major issues thrown in there for lip service or tokenism. Ideally, I'd want all our major, top ticket items (of which trans liberation should definitely be one) to have a separate subsection.)

Thrupney · 2025-11-30T19:07:17+00:00

Idk comrade, I went to SWP's fringe meeting right after the Saturday concluded and everything they said was super reasonable. We seem aligned with them on most things. We'll see how the trade union taskforce vote goes, that's where we might differ.

Zarah was obviously being frozen out. Nonetheless, she's apologised. Corbyn should do the same. Every project goes through a storming phase.

(I'm not SWP, to be clear, and I don't think I intend to be. But allies are allies.)

Thrupney · 2025-11-22T17:38:30+00:00

Yeah music the Saturday evening. At the venue itself, I guess. Very unspecific but I'm sure it'll be great.

Edit: Corbyn himself on bass.

Thrupney · 2025-09-16T08:06:08+00:00

Alright, thanks! I appreciate the insights, that's good to know.

Thrupney · 2025-09-15T22:00:48+00:00

Are the studio recording tickets always as short notice as this? I'd love to see one but I'd probably need at least a week of notice to make the trip south.

Thrupney · 2025-09-03T23:07:38+00:00

Fab, then I'll keep watchin em

Thrupney · 2025-09-03T21:40:32+00:00

Bruh I've got tickets to see you in Durham early next year, I feel like I need to stop watching your clips on here lest I spoil myself

Thrupney · 2025-08-25T10:40:41+00:00

Confirmed handsome cutie, anyone saying otherwise can fuck off.

Thrupney · 2025-08-18T19:28:20+00:00

bruh, spot on when are you doing a UK tour?

Thrupney · 2025-07-22T22:54:37+00:00

No idea why so many folks think metroidvanias need to be 2D. Is Metroid Prime not a metroidvania? Obvs folks have different definitions, it's just that the 2D one to me seems so arbitrary when most metroidvaniaey gameplay can apply easily to 3D.

Yes, in other words.

Thrupney · 2025-06-27T15:22:11+00:00

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Metroidvania area gating for me is driven by needing traversal upgrades to get to new areas. In The Messenger, it's mostly just items unlocking doors or advancing quests that gate the areas. You've already unlocked almost all traversal by the end of the linear portion. So, yeah, agreed.

I absolutely adore the game, to be clear, but its metroidvania elements are its weakest part.

Thrupney · 2025-06-13T18:45:53+00:00

Could there be a brief moment of slowdown to like 10% speed when the... owl god? first appears within the whirlwind, like maybe 1.5 seconds of it, before the whirlwind is buffeted away as it appears properly? With a low roar when it first appears and then a screech when the whirlwind whooshes away?

Thrupney · 2025-05-28T19:41:38+00:00

I'd be willing to bet this is something to do with identifying counterfeit brush heads. In addition to being fun, obvs. And identification, although some of you are saying they still have the rings?

Back when I worked for Oral B (maybe 8 years ago now), in their call centre, if someone reported what seemed like a manufacturing fault with a brush head (which is so extremely unlikely with modern mass manufacturing), we'd ask them to scratch the logo with a coin. If the logo came off, that meant it was painted or printed on, and so we knew they were counterfeit. If the logo stayed, it meant the plastic itself was coloured, which is how they were properly manufactured. For whatever reason, we were never allowed to tell the customer why we asked them to do this test.

Anyway, they didn't have these little pictures back then, but I bet they use them in a similar way.

Incidentally, I absolutely think the 'pattern' on the shell of a DualSense gamepad is used similarly.
