Jeremy Corbyn faces Tory MPs in Parliamentary Beard of the Year ‘Beard-Off’ vote
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the voting process for Parliamentary Beard of the Year 2020 has reached its final stage with Jeremy Corbyn facing two Tory MPs and a Scottish Nationalist in a Beard Off vote for the annual honour.
In two ‘trim-off’ preliminary rounds of voting 8 candidates attempted 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 votes ran from 30th November until the 9th December. Each vote consisted of 4 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 with Jeremy Corbyn MP and Crispin Blunt MP winning the second vote
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
