For some odd reason, the day before Hilary Benn was sacked

was the day somebody felt that there was a pressing need to register this domain:

http://angela4leader.co.uk/

"This page has been reserved for future use". Heh.

It was registered by one Joe McRea, according to his LinkedIn entry (won't link because rules), "Award winning communications, engagement and listening strategist" and "Prime Minister's Adviser 10 Downing Street".

You don't have to guess too hard which Prime Minister:

... worked as a special adviser in the Department of Health and in Downing Street during the early years of Tony Blair’s premiership.

Asked why he had registered it while she was still a member of Mr Corbyn's shadow Cabinet, Mr McCrea said: “No comment.”
