David Nicholl, who drew up a risk register of epilepsy and neurology drugs for the government’s Operation Yellowhammer plans for no deal, said he was not going to take lessons from a “muppet” who had no medical qualifications.
“If he has got doubts about my probity, I am more than happy to be referred to the GMC,” said Nicholl.
“I am not bothered about Jacob Rees-Mogg. I’m not going to take a single word of health lessons from a muppet like him. What does he know about epilepsy or neuropathic pain?” he added.
“What I am worried about is my patients. To suggest I am wrong in what I say is defamatory. When, as I have done, I look people in the eye and say some of the drugs they are on might be in short supply and who are understandably worried, what he says about me is ridiculous.”
Anyone who calls Greasy Mugg a muppet wins my vote.

Well, I wouldn't take legal advice from a doctor.
He should ask a legal expert what the meaning of "defamation" is before he continues to spout crap.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has apologised to an NHS consultant for comparing him to a disgraced anti-vaxxer in a row over Brexit.
The leader of the Commons has been facing an intense backlash for his remarks about neurologist Dr David Nicholl.
Mr Rees-Mogg compared the distinguished doctor, who warned that a no-deal Brexit could lead to more deaths, to Andrew Wakefield. Dr Wakefield started a bogus scare about the MMR vaccine and was later struck off the medical register.
Following the backlash from a number of MPs, Mr Rees-Mogg has apologised for the comment he made in the Commons. He said: "I apologise to Dr Nicholl for the comparison with Dr Wakefield.
“I have the utmost respect for all of the country's hardworking medical professionals and the work they do in caring for the people of this country."
Seems that comparing a respected doctor to one who was struck off and left the country in ignominy does deserve a grovelling apology after all, Bungle.
