Allow MP's in the house of Commons to be able to call other MP's Liars.
Past a vote that allows MP's to call each other liars in the house of Commons on the condition they have supporting evidence. This allows MP's to call out bad faith politicians who willingly misled parliament by using data that is out of date or false to support dodging questions when confronted.
In a time of misinformation and corrupt political actors, the public require now more than ever to have people in power confronted when acting in a manner that is unbefitting of their station and should be held to account in a public forum when members of the public can see their MP's acting on the will of their constituency. There being a condition add of that the member of the house that calls another a liar, must have factual evidence provided to the speaker or ready on hand to be provided.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We are unclear how this is different to what is currently happening.
A Member may accuse another Member of lying in a debate on a substantive motion on the conduct of the Member, and a Member suspected of misleading the House can be referred to the Committee of Privileges for investigation, as was the case regarding Mr Boris Johnson: committees.parliament.uk/publications/40412/documents/197897/default/
