Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, after a hard-fought contest with Prince Harry, has won the beard of the year contest by a relatively comfortable margin of 57% to 40%, in spite of frantic attempts by right-wingers on social media to turn the tide.
The victory was announced by one of Corbyn’s unofficial campaign managers, with a very unofficial comment:

Comment:
Few could seriously argue – though no doubt they will anyway – that Corbyn doesn’t deserve this award and more after turning British politics on its head right way up in the two years of his tenure and especially over the eight months since Theresa May’s decision to call a snap election.
Congratulations and a hairy merry Christmas to the Labour leader and all his supporters.

It will be interesting to see if this award (important though it undoubtedly is) gets more coverage in the MSM than his recent award at the UN in Geneva
