Just when you thought you’d seen it all in the Advent calendar world, along came the Jeremy Corbyn countdown to Christmas.

Because this is 2017 and apparently chocolate isn’t enough, you can now get Greggs, gin, sock and politician-themed Advent calendars.

The Jezza-themed calendar features a portrait of the Labour leader looking slightly unsure, giving a tentative thumbs-up, dressed in a Father Christmas outfit, with an oversized head.

And who wouldn’t want to wake up to that every morning of Advent?

It’s on sale for £19.95 from Corbyn Corner Shop which is a lot more than the average calendar, but the website claims that it contains “luxury chocolate.”

10 per cent of profits will go to Save the Children though.

There’s even a maze on the back to “help Jeremy get to Number 10.”

Sadly however, it may end up being a calendar for the few rather than the many, as it’s only available in a limited run of 250.

And if you truly want to have a Jerry Christmas, this isn’t the only option available to you.

How about a Jeremy Corbyn Christmas jumper? Or maybe a phone case for your nearest and dearest? Or perhaps a mug from which to sip your mulled wine?

Might as well get merry with Jerry.
