JANEY Godley has given her latest take on modern politics, this time taking aim at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after he announced a General Election.
Standing outside Downing Street in the rain on Wednesday, the Prime Minister explained the General Election would be held on July 4.
Taking to Twitter/X, Godley posted a voiceover giving her version of Sunak’s speech – which at the time was largely drowned out by protesters blaring 90s hits.

“What’s happened is, is I’ve forgot to bring a brolly,” Godley starts off saying before adding that “the country is just absolutely f*****”.
She goes on: “I coudnae get the Rwanda thing tae happen, there’s people playing music in the background tae annoy me.
“I wasnae even voted in tae start with but I’ve lasted longer than a lettuce which is very important.
“But aye at the end of the day, it’s f*****. Me and my wife are billionaires. As soon as this is over, we’re off, we’re away on holiday.

“Possibly a cruise, I do love a cruise. So see you later.
"Frank, get the door.”
Many took to social media to praise Godley’s latest take on politics, with one saying Sunak had “given us one of the best comedy moments in government ever” while another said it was “brilliant”.
“Such a dignified speech,” joked another social media user while a fourth said the comedian’s take was “perfect”.
It was an all-round bad afternoon for Sunak, not only because of the rain, but because protester Steve Bray stole the limelight by blaring the soundtrack for Tony Blair’s 1997 General Election – D: Ream’s Things Can Only Get Better – as he made his announcement.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
