Jeremy Hunt challenges Ralf Little

[Northerner]

The health secretary says he'll debate actor Ralf Little over claims he's lied about the NHS.

In an interview with Newsbeat, Jeremy Hunt says he's waiting for the Royle Family star to "show the evidence" that he hasn't expanded NHS mental health provision.

The pair started rowing on Twitter weeks ago after the MP appeared on TV talking about investing in care.

Mr Hunt said: "I get involved in lots of Twitter spats with lots of people when I think they're not being fair about the progress the NHS is making."

To be fair he is much much better than lansley, and has a real passion for the NHS, and though he has been banging the more money drum recently, he is probably the only cabinet member that is just getting on with the job and not playing games.

That’s what worries me ypauli. He is sneaking in organisational changes yet again, but under the radar because the rest of the gang are just concerned with Brexit.

I dont understand why they have all got to keep messing with the nhs, we have the best health service in the world and I wish they would just leave it alone
