Tyne Mayor Driscoll voted Beard of Summer 2023
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that while Tyne Mayor Jamie Driscoll didn’t make Labour’s shortlist for Mayor of the North-East, he not only made the equivalent list for Beard of Summer but topped the poll when voting ended at midnight on Friday.
There were two rounds of voting for the coveted seasonal accolade and in the final Beard Off round Driscoll easily shaved other contenders including Stephen Fry and new Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, clean shaven revisionism may be in fashion politically but Jamie Driscoll’s beard brings gravitas to his Mayoral job
