Jeremy Corbyn chooses white dove against Labour red background for official Christmas card

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.
