Jeremy Corbyn heads for place on Parliamentary Beard of the Year shortlist. Which MPs will join him?
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the voting process for Parliamentary Beard of the Year 2020 is continuing with the second ‘trim-off’ vote to determine the finalists now open.
Eight candidates will attempt to shave each other for the coveted annual accolade. 2020 sees the highest proportion of Tory MPs on the shortlist ever reflecting more hirsute Parliamentary times.
The first of two votes ran from 30th November until the 4th December, with a second from 5th December until December 9th. Each vote will consist of four MPs with the winners of each vote going to a Beard Off vote on 10-12th December.
Tory MP Stuart Anderson and SNP MP Stewart McDonald won the first ‘trim-off’ vote and Jeremy Corbyn looks certain to secure a place leaving one further place in the ‘trim-off’ vote which concludes on 9th December.
The winner of Parliamentary Beard of the Year will be announced on 13th December
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, this is one vote in 2020 when Jeremy Corbyn, who has won the Parliamentary Beard of the Year a record number of times, does feature. Whether he and more particularly his beard wins again or not will be entirely up to voters
