A festive dig at Dominic Cummings has been voted the winner of a national competition to come up with new Christmas cracker jokes.

Quips about lockdown, Zoom, Eat Out to Help Out, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson also featured heavily in TV channel Gold’s annual competition.

Now in its eighth year, the contest challenged entrants to come up with the best topical and modern Christmas cracker jokes, which were then voted on by the public.

British humour

The winner was: “What is Dominic Cummings’ favourite Christmas song? – Driving Home for Christmas.”

Author of the joke, Craig from Manchester, won £1,500 towards a holiday and a box of bespoke crackers, one of which will contain his champion laugh.

Entries for the competition were shortlisted by a panel of judges, led by comedy critic Bruce Dessau, and put to an anonymous public vote of 2,000 adults.

Mr Dessau said: “Amongst one of the strangest and most turbulent years yet, we can always rely on British humour to pull us through.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
