Jeremy Hunt replied to Ralf Little and he’s been owned all over again
You might have read how Jeremy Hunt ‘double dared’ Ralf Little to challenge him over the government’s track record on mental health and the Royle Family star did just that – in spectacular fashion.
Here’s just a taste of Little’s 44 tweet response.
(22) The good news is, now that you – and Twitter – know that this statistic is total bullshit, you won’t feel the need to use it again.
On to your final claim…

Little ended by ‘triple daring’ the health secretary to a live TV debate.
(41) So let’s not call each other names – if you’re the decent sort you say you are, and often appear to be on twitter, let's have an open conversation and some transparency on the future of everyone’s healthcare.
The British public deserve it.

And this is how Hunt responded.
Over to Ralf Little (it’s not as long as last time).
I’ll be posting my reply to Jeremy Hunt in the next half hour or so. Note his reply below describes my carefully worded, polite, evidence based 42 tweet thread as “twitter screaming” and lacking in evidence. Lacking. In. Evidence.

(1) I’m confused @Jeremy_Hunt that you suggest I "haven’t provided any evidence”.
I’m pretty sure that I wrote a full 42 tweet thread of evidence – WITH LINKS AND REFERENCES – to back up my claims? pic.twitter.com/tQxlxoK0oh

(3) Anyway, thanks for agreeing to meet, it’s greatly appreciated.
I’ll just remind you of the specifics of my challenge – it was to meet up with…Me,
Medical professionals,
AND fact checkers…on camera.
We’ll sit down and clear up any misunderstandings. pic.twitter.com/5t0ITxsQ7p

(4) These terms were set out in my original thread and your willingness to meet implies that you’re agreeing to them?
Is this correct? Because if you ARE agreeing to those terms it’s a gesture of transparency and decency and it’s to your credit. So…
