The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that there are major concerns about the future Tory position on beards after James Cleverly who narrowly failed to make the final stage of the contest, said he would not serve in a new Shadow Cabinet but sit on the back benches.

Cleverly looked set to be the first Tory leader with a beard since 1902 and his failure to make the deciding leadership vote raised concerns about pogonophobia in the depleted ranks of Tory MPs.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, while the leadership race may have been a close shave there are significant concerns about a lack of hirsute diversity at the top of the Tory Party
