Jeremy Hunt Fires Digs At Johnson, May And Cameron in Entertaining Twitter Q&A
26 June 2019, 07:40
Jeremy Hunt held a Twitter Q&A after Boris Johnson refused to take part in a debate on the Conservative leadership - and it proved very entertaining.
The leadership candidate used the hashtag #BoJoNoShow as he took questions from the public that ranged from the serious to the absurd.
And clearly enjoying himself, he couldn't help but having a few digs at his leadership rival, as well as previous Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron.
Here are the best tweets from the #BoJoNoShow Q&A.
He took several shots at Boris Johnson for refusing to take part in a debate.

There were of course a few serious responses. These are his priorities for public spending if he becomes Prime Minister.
Biggest priorities are social care and education #BoJoNoShow https://t.co/q6Cn2ZSDLc

And Mr Hunt promised to include a wide range of groups to find a Brexit deal that works for everyone.
1. Don’t propose a deal that won’t get through parliament - which means the DUP, the ERG, Scottish and Welsh Tories as part of the negotiating team… #BoJoNoShow https://t.co/AnmXGlUUvu

When he was asked if he was just Theresa May in disguise, he had a snappy response.

And he ended with a dig at himself and the regular mishap that broadcasters often have with his name...
