Labour retains Beard Friendly Conference Award but Tory challenge growing
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with the Party Conference season concluding with the Tories in Manchester the battle the poll for the ‘Most Beard Friendly Party Conference’ has seen Labour retain the Award it is held since 2015
The BLF has had observers watching each of the main conferences, LibDems in Bournemouth, Labour in Brighton and has kept a close eye on the Tories in Manchester.
For the first time in recent history there has been a hirsute speaker other than a Minister on the platform at the Tory conference and the campaigners say that the Tories are on the foothills of presenting a public image that conforms to that to be found in workplaces and High Streets across the UK
However Labour with its first bearded leader since Keir Hardie stood down in 1908, as Jeremy Corbyn marks the 4th anniversary of his election as leader, has easily won the Beard Friendly Party Conference poll again
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, Some Tories now grasp that they had the last hirsute, Tory Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, who stepped down in 1902, but re-bearding the Tory Party is a slow process. In the meantime Labour’s Conference Beard Power was once again impressive
