'Following the despicable example set by Kemi Badenoch,' said an Ofcom spokes-pixel, 'we are worried that other bloody-minded reactionaries in Britain may take a stand and not watch the compelling, 100% factual Adolescence and its promised follow-up.


'We are now getting Labour to make its poodle MPs pass a law fining people £500 for failure to view every second of these Netflix masterpieces.


'You will all then be obliged to get into a huge moral panic and fret out loud, at dinner parties and in public meetings, about how absolutely awful 'these incels' are.


'There will also be custodial sentences for 'Adolescence deniers' - people who claim its plot is not perfectly truthful. It is a real-life documentary, as the Prime Minister stated in the Commons. You only have to see the terribly life-like camera techniques they used to know how right he is about this.


'We are also demanding legislation to make Paddington Bear Britain's new patron saint.


'The statues of him popping up on benches across the country are to be treated as sacred objects, and anyone caught defiling one will be subjected to a tedious sermon on inclusivity from some self-righteous judge who wants good copy in the papers.

Media watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into breeches seen on Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg's GB News show.


Sir Jacob, a former cabinet minister, is known for his choice of more traditional attire.


The 9 May episode of State of the Nation featured the MP's coverage (or lack of) during a breaking news story about a civil trial verdict involving Donald Trump. The regulator received 40 complaints.


Ofcom said: "We are investigating whether this programme broke our rules, which prevent politicians from wearing inappropriate hats during their exposure, unless exceptionally, it is editorially justified."


Serving politicians are, however, allowed to have current affairs [shows], as long as a range of long range views are modestly reflected.


Sir Jacob hosts the hour-long evening show from Mondays to Thursdays, and it was during this show that his breeches became an obvious issue.


Sir Jacob's breeches are being looked into by the Ofcom trouser department. 'One of the things we need to establish is whether Sir Jacob is getting too big for his,' a spokesman said.


A GB News source commented: 'We object to the Ofcom decision on the basis that there's no way that many discerning people watch our channel.'
