Alongside Frosty (the Snowman) and dear old Santa, there may be another name you might want to add to the Christmas roster.

Ed Miliband will be a name enticing giggles and the occasional ‘hohoho’, due to a rather poignant cracker joke. The former Labour leader has topped a poll compiling the year’s funniest jokes from Christmas crackers.

The joke is as follows.

‘Why does Ed Miliband like advent calendars?

He gets to open the door to number 10.’

Need more be said?

The other jokes that made the list pointed out a few other celebrity names, like Jeremy Clarkson, and current Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn. The remainder of the top four jokes are shown below.

I told my Granddad to go to Amazon for his Christmas shopping. He phoned me two days later from Brazil.

Why were Jeremy Clarkson’s colleagues excited to try his mulled wine? Because they’d been floored by his punch.

How does Darth Vader like his Christmas turkey? On the dark side.

Make of these what you will.
