OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it

There it was. Not a slip of the tongue, not a mis-speak. A wilful, deliberate statement. And I never thought I’d hear it in a debate between two men at the very apex of public life. It was like a blow, only the man on the receiving end didn’t seem to feel it. Sir Keir Starmer called Rishi Sunak a liar.
