Milan Kundera refers to crossing the border (the line) and suggests that a border is never crossed but moved. if Sunak moves the line rather than take action against Raab for crossing the line, this means a change in the future as what is and isn't considered acceptable behaviour. This would be consistent with the change in which the political left, right and centre has changed over the last 13 years where the right is considered centrist politics, and even right of centre is labelled as left wing, centrist as borderline far left, and left of centre extreme left. In politics, boundaries are not crossed but moved.
