Sarah Vine and Andrew Pierce revealed today that four website domains titled ‘Angela 4 PM’ have already been registered in case Angela Rayner plans to launch a leadership bid.
Speaking on the Mail talk show The Reaction on the eve of the election, the columnists dissected what a Labour supermajority on Friday could mean for the deputy leader.
Ms Vine predicted that Ms Rayner, who is said to have a fractious relationship with Sir Keir Starmer behind the scenes, ‘will find a way of becoming leader in the next 18 months’.
‘She is very clever. She’s much. She’s very streetwise. She is She has a lot of coming and she’s she’s a really tough woman if you think about where she’s come from, absolutely. She’s not to be underestimated,’ Ms Vine explained.
Mr Pierce added: ‘Darling of the party grassroots. She’s the darling of the trade union movement because not least she was a trade union official herself.

‘Curiously, I discovered four domains have been set up which say, Angela 4PM for Angela 4pm for Reina 4PM.
‘Now people will say it’s nothing to do with her and that it’s a shocking suggestion, perish the thought.
‘But these domains were set up just three days after Rayner and Starmer were cleared of improper behaviour during the lockdown beergate situation.’
The four domains – who were set up by an unknown person – include: ‘raynerforpm.co.uk’, ‘angelaforpm.co.uk’, ‘angela4pm.co.uk’ and ‘rayner4pm.co.uk’
Mr Pierce went on to add that Starmer, if elected Prime Minister on Friday, could face challenges with his deputy who is ‘uber ambitious and very left wing, calling herself a socialist’.
As Brits take to the polls tomorrow, Labour is on course to win the largest Commons majority in almost 200.
It comes as a new mega poll suggested Sir Keir’s party could win 431 seats in tomorrow’s election.
Despite Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson joining forces to warn against handing Labour a ‘supermajority’, a YouGov MRP survey of more than 42,000 people gives Sir Keir a majority of 212
Mr Johnson took to the stage for the first time in the campaign last night as the Tories try ward off Labour’s projected supermajority
The ‘supermajority’ predictions led Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson to join forces last night to try and persuade undecided voters to stick with the Tories.
At a rally last night, Mr Johnson warned that Sir Keir would use a ‘sledgehammer’ majority to bring in ‘mandatory wokery’ and ‘uncontrolled immigration’.
If the YouGov MRP survey is correct, Sir Keir will hold a majority of 212, which would be the biggest margin for a party in the modern era of the Houses of Parliament since reform of the electoral laws in 1832.
The figure of 431 is very similar to the findings of a second mega poll by More in Common, which gave Labour 430 seats.
The Tories are forecast to end the election with just 102 seats, their worst ever result, with a low estimate of 78.
Some 16 Cabinet ministers are expected to lose their seats, including Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
Several MPs mooted as potential successors to Mr Sunak are also under threat, including Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt in Portsmouth North and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick in Newark.
