This was not the deep state - but an automated process that asks for further verification when domains are registered with the term 'gov' in them as it has often been used for phishing and other scams. The web address was restored once this process was completed.
Sorry to report our PrepGov blog has been taken down by the deep state, presumably due to malicious reporting by our enemies. Am assuming it’s routine and we’ll be back up and running soon (right @Nominet ?)

This wasn't the result of a complaint or political in nature - it was because an additional layer of security is used on domains that contain the term 'gov' - as they are often used for phishing or scams. Once verified, the domain was quickly reenabled.
