Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham wins vote for Parliamentary Beard of the Year
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham has won the vote for Parliamentary Beard of the Year. He shaved the 2022 winner Jeremy Corbyn, winning 56.2% of votes cast to 34.8% for the Islington North MP
Mr Cunningham and his Stockton North Constituency have been the subject of abuse from Home Secretary James Cleverley. Mr Cleverley’s exclusion from the 2023 shortlist was confirmed following a vote of BLF supporters.
The annual award is not based on MP’s political affiliations but how much of a positive public image their beard has brought to Parliamentary politics during the year.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, James Cleverley has brought the hirsute into disrepute and Alex Cunningham’s victory in voting for Parliamentary Beard of the Year is clearly a positive response to that. We congratulate him and hope he continues to exert Parliamentary Beard Power.
