Sir Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar - he shouldn't have done it.
The word liar’ has lost its force to the point that it can be bandied around by a would-be prime minister against a serving Prime Minister without outrage.
The only way to recover the shock of the word liar is to read the literature of former times, which reflects the Protestant ethos which was once standard in British public life.
Sir Keir shouldn't have called the PM a liar because it impugns his integrity.
Saint Thomas Aquinas called a lie a statement at variance with the mind’ Lies are damaging because they undermine the value of language itself.
Even in days when public discourse was more pointed and rough than it is now, there were limits.
