COMIC Janey Godley has reshared a hilarious voiceover in which she PREDICTED Nicola Sturgeon's WhatsApps.
Godley, who became a household name during the pandemic for her tongue-in-cheek versions of Sturgeon’s daily Covid briefings, shared the video after the former first minister's chief of staff Liz Lloyd appeared at the UK Covid Inquiry on Thursday.
Sharing the video, Godley wrote in all caps that she had been "absolutely bang on the money".
And, she really was.

In the voiceover, Godley said in her now iconic tone of Sturgeon: “Of course I deleted all the WhatsApp messages, you couldn’t of read them! I called absolutely everybody a f***ing c***.
Between Dominic Cummings and his trip to f***ing Barnard Castle, you should have seen what I called that b***ard Boris Johnson.
"And then, I’ll tell you what I called Jacob Rees-Mogg – it involves the words long, p*shy and c*unt in it.

“So aye, they all had to be deleted – I couldn’t stop f***ing swearing and arguing with everybody on it. And people are like that, 'where’s your WhatsApp messages?', f***ing bury it in the garden, away and get another tent and have a dig for them.”
Her online fans reacted with laughter and said they had thought of Godley's interpretations of the briefing while reading the WhatsApps.
To be fair, the Jouker did read most of the cheekier WhatsApps in Godley's voice.
Sturgeon DID in fact describe Boris Johnson as a “f****** clown” in one message and said his comms "are [beyond] awful".
One user on social media suggested that when she sent the message, that maybe Sturgeon "was channelling her inner Godley!?".
Maybe she was, and maybe we all should when it comes to Boris Johnson.
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!
