Beard Campaigners wish Jeremy Corbyn a Hirsutely Happy 70th Birthday
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has wished Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn a Hirsutely Happy 70th Birthday for Sunday 26th May
Jeremy Corbyn has won the Parliamentary Beard of the Year Award a record eight times in 2001, 2007, 2011, 2012 (shared), 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018.
He was an early backer of the Beard Liberation Front and raised issues around discrimination against the hirsute in the House of Commons in the 1980s and 1990s when he was one of the few MPs with a beard and beards were deeply unfashionable
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Jeremy Corbyn has been a pioneer of beard liberation in the political arena, standing up for the hirsute when few others would. We wish him a hirsutely happy birthday and hope that he will be the first hirsute Prime Minister since 1902 before the year is out.
