I think there may be a stiff contender for the worst website in the world.
The website of Eye favourite, the Soi Disant Veteran Observer, continues to feature a twice failed candidate for London's Mayor and a still very much dead Madam Chair of the Transport Select Committee!
Perhaps the 'Soi Disant' played a role in designing the 'award winning' gov.uk portal?
