Comedian Janey Godley says she is launching her own political party after former First Minister Alex Salmond announcing that he is launching pro- Independence party Alba.
Janey who has been the unofficial voiceover of Nicola Sturgeon's coronavirus briefings throughout the pandemic announced her intentions in a video on her Twitter channel.
She told followers: "I'm launching my own political party. It's called the 'Lets Be Frank' party.
"There's going to be no more bunting, there'll be nae bunting, nae flags.
"There's going to be free soup every Thursday. We're going to have a big pot of free soup.
"We're going to legalise and initiate a national agenda on Pippa Dee parties. There's also going to be a huge minoge. That's going to be what our currency is, a minoge."
She added: "We're going to bring back Kensitas coupons and football cards so aye, vote for me in the 'Lets Be Frank' party."
Janey already knows who will make up her cabinet and revealed: "My sausage dug Honey is going to be one of the MPs, and we're going to get all the Sandras involved.
"It's going to be brilliant. We're going to get independence and free soup. What's not to love? Let's Be Frank party."
Janey giggled at the end of the video, but it captivated the imagination of some of her followers.
One asked: "Janey what flavour is the soup...see if its ox tail I can't back ye....its got those wee nearly bits of meat in it and gives me the heave....can we have Cullen skink like ye get at the green welly?"
After Janey responded: "We can have any flavour", the fan replied: "ah its heaven on earth...soup and the Sandra's."
Another added: "Bring back Greenshield Stamps and I'll vote for you."
After Janey said 'Aye they're valid', they responded: "Are my 1974 stamps still valid? If you can help me out I'll half them with you. We could get a tea caddy each. Living the dream."
Even SNP member Ronnie Cowan MP joined in and said: "Will there be Tupperware? This is a deal breaker."
He added: "Nobody in the history of Tupperware has all the lids for all the containers or all the containers for all the lids. Nobody ever. It’s one of life’s mysteries. Agatha Christie wrote Murder in Plastic Containers all about this."
Falkirk Councillor Laura Murtagh also wanted to join as long as her cat could get involved.
Showing off a picture of her cat Minnie, she said: "Have you thought about doing Avon to raise Capital Funding.....what about Partylight as a backup?
" Also...I'm not joining unless Crazy Cat ladies are also welcome. Cannie just be dugs. Minnie knows a lot about solar energy harnessing if you need a steer on that?"
