Festive Jezza in all his woolly glory (Picture: Kat Stiff)

Are you a socialist atheist who happens to love Christmas?

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t the messiah (though he does have the same initials), but that doesn’t mean he can’t spread a bit of festive cheer.

Katrina Stiff, an Etsy genius, has hand-crocheted the silver-haired socialist in woolly form.

Metro.co.uk caught up with her for an exclusive chat, to find out exactly why JC should be topping your Christmas tree this Noel.


She told us: ‘I’ve been making pincushions of the less popular politicians for a couple of years now but wanted to try something different with Jeremy Corbyn as I’m a huge fan of his.

‘I suppose the idea for an alternative Xmas tree topper came from the widespread feeling that he offers hope for a better future, although it is intended as a celebration of this rather than an object of worship! And, of course, just a bit of fun.’

And while there may be another two months to go until Crimbo, it’s seems Corbynmaniacs are firmly in the seasonal spirit.

Ms Stiff added: ‘Since he went on sale a couple of days ago I have been inundated with orders to the point where I can probably only guarantee another twenty for delivery in time for Christmas!

‘However I will also be writing up the pattern to go on sale in my Etsy shop (Snorkers Imaginarium) so that anyone who can crochet can make their own.’

Do you or one of your loved ones love Christmas but wish there was a non-denominational alternative to traditional decorations?

Then festive Jezza may be the tree topper for you.

FYI, Ms Stiff has also created David Cameron and Michael Gove voodoo pincushions to cater to your stress-relieving needs.
