Moments of light relief have been few and far between this year but the ranking of topical Christmas cracker jokes by TV Channel Gold has provided some, with the top spot taken by one that has a punchline featuring a Chris Rea song and Dominic Cummings. Gold’s annual ranking, which is chosen by a panel chaired by the comedy critic Bruce Dessau, was put to 2,000 voters who chose: “What is Dominic Cummings’ favourite Christmas song? Driving Home for Christmas”, as the best cracker joke this year. Cue coverage everywhere!
