Janey Godley teases MP Margaret Ferrier in new 'Ah've git the covid, everybody's been telt' clip

Janey Godley - one of Scotland's favourite comedians - has released a new voice over sketch, this time poking fun at MP Margaret Ferrier.

Janey normally targets First Minister Nicola Sturgeon 's daily coronavirus briefings as the basis for her videos speeches but after shocking news broke last night, Godley appears to have chosen a new focus.

It was revealed last night that MP Margaret Ferrier had travelled to and from London while knowingly infected with coronavirus.

Speaking over a clip of Ferrier, Janey said: "Aye just aff the phone tae big Sandra there, hear the news is broke that ah've got the covid and it's aw oor the tele and everything and wit did a dae? went right ahead and went tae Parliament and got a train back tae Scotland.

"Honest to God, it's no as if a wisny f*****g telt, at the end of the day av made a grave mistake, and a mean... am the whip and I think I know wit will be getting the whip noo... wit a brass neck."

She added: "A mean, it wisny even as if I was gon tae git my eyes tested... the polis huv been telt, everybody has been telt... so aye that'll be me in lockdown, that'll f*****g learn me.

"I suppose we should aw know that it shouldn't be wan rule for wan and wan rule for the other. We are all in this together remember. Right Frank, get the door!"

And fans loved Janey's new sketch, saying the comedian was brilliant.

One said: "Was waiting with bated breath for this. Knew you'd wipe the floor with her.....so not disappointed. F*****g brilliant as always."

Another wrote: "Looking forward to seeing your take on Nicola’s reaction to this. She is gonna give it some wellie!"

While one added: "If we don't laugh we would cry."

Ferrier, the MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, shocked the public yesterday by releasing a statement admitting she had breached coronavirus rules.

She travelled to London on Monday despite having taken a test and, after getting a positive result, travelled back to Scotland via train on Tuesday.

She was suspended by the SNP and is facing investigations by the police and an ethics watchdog.

Sturgeon's quit call came after SNP MPs urged her to quit as an MP.
