Tom Watson ruled not eligible for Beard of Labour Conference 2019
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with this year’s Labour Party Conference in Brighton underway the vote for the Beard of Conference will be opening once BLF observers have had the opportunity to review the hirsute composition of the conference.
However the BLF says that former Parliamentary Beard of the Year Tom Watson has been ruled ineligible as he clearly did not have a beard at the start of Conference
The three leading contenders in 2018 were
Ben Bellamy, Labour Councillor
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader
Tosh McDonald, (Ex) President of ASLEF
The BLF focus at Labour Conference is not the length of the beard, or its style but about how much gravitas it addx to the conference proceedings.
The winner will be announced at the end of the Conference
Every year the Beard Liberation Front runs a poll for the ‘Most Beard Friendly Party Conference’. The winner of this will be announced on 2nd October
