A dinner party in Parliament was given “woke” snapless Christmas crackers and some people think it’s bang out of order
December is typically the height of silly season, so let’s go over to Parliament now for an update from a new front opening in the culture wars.
Marcus Walker, a Church of England clergyman, shared this snap – sorry, we mean picture – of a note about the Christmas crackers from a recent festive event in Parliament.

It reads:
“Let’s make some noise…We have removed the snap from this cracker to ensure it is completely recyclable. Part of our journey to make every Christmas a celebration of responsibility.”
Well, as you’d expect, everyone reacted perfectly reasonably to the idea of a snapless Christmas cracker. Lols, as if.

You can’t get more cracked than crackers that don’t crack. https://t.co/D117X1iw6z

Christmas is a celebration of Christ not a celebration of climate responsibility, seriously what even is this

So, do you vocally exclaim ‘Snap!’, instead ? How sustainable …

It's like some organisations want to suck the joy out of everything. How ridiculous, a cracker without a crack! https://t.co/0u7CZvMGkR

Perhaps one of those non-serious wars would be okay.
Jo Johnston had a different concern – one about priorities.
What’s really embarrassing is that some guy representing the Church of England doesn’t seem to want to prioritise recycling over the snap of a cracker. ♀️ https://t.co/wAdOyuZo9F
