Bucking this year's trend for children's drawings, Jeremy Corbyn opted for simplicity for this year's official Christmas card.

The Labour leader chose to convey his festive greetings with a simple white outline of a dove against a Labour-red background.

Inside the message, also in Labour red, reads: "With warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

Prime Minister Theresa May chose three pictures by schoolchildren from her Maidenhead constituency for her Christmas cards.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron also featured a drawing by a youngster from his Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency.

Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon's card features the iconic Scottish cartoon character Oor Wullie, who has appeared in the Scottish Post newspaper since 1936.
