In the following sessions a number of hirsute speakers have appeared. However the criteria for the Beard of Labour Party Conference is not just the beard but the gravitas it adds to proceedings
Now that the range of beards at conference has been reviewed an on-line poll is open for those whose facial hair has added the most gravitas
Contenders for 2019 so far are:
Ben Bellamy, Belper Labour Councillor
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader
