Yes, the election cycle for the last term was from 5 May 2016.
You've had to go back to 2017. If you're looking for Tory sleaze you can break the Internet listing whats gone on this year.

This one would be known as Kant's Categorical Imperative.
If we all acted like this as a society then we would all be screwed.
Bit of moral philosophy to help you out.
What if we all acted like the current PM?
its nothing to be bothered about really
So neither are the examples being pointed out then.
Though I don't subscribe to that. Townsends behaviour was appalling, so is Johnson and his cronies in my view.
If he does a job that satisfies the public and you as an individual no one cares - Cameron was a rubbish prime minister but if he was a great one his lobbying would be irrelevant - it is irrelevant- he was a rubbish prime minister
You're surely not suggesting Johnson is a great PM?
No but I’m saying the most corrupt PM in my life time was definitely Tony Blair and the man who really controlled the government - Alistair Campbell - there is no argument about that in my view.
I think Johnson will surpass Blair in the domestic corruption stakes, whether he out does Blairs Iraq war antics is another thing, I doubt he will.
You may think that but if Mr Johnson was a Labour PM and the most honest man in the world was a Tory leader you’d still rather Mr Johnson was in power
Joe Anderson is free atm he’s a nice upstanding member of the Labour Party if it doesn’t work out with Starmer.
Corruption is his thing!!!
Good and bad on both sides is all I’m saying.I don't see anyone in here defending him.
Strange point to make
Even Silvio Berlisconi will be going calm down Boris. Boris isn’t even 2 years in.I think Johnson will surpass Blair in the domestic corruption stakes, whether he out does Blairs Iraq war antics is another thing, I doubt he will.
Hope G's got a spare pair of Y-fronts handy with all this laughter

I honestly couldn't vote for a PCC, had to spoil my paper. I have zero clue what any of them are offering, and none of them seem to want to bother to tell me.Just voted Green for town and county council, Lab/Lib for PCC.

Never ceases to amaze me how little some people bother on a small territory really. My parents' councillor basically ended up winning as an independent because over the course of a couple of elections, he actually bothered to turn up and talk to people - his politics was irrelevant really. It doesn't take *that* many votes to win a council seat, after all!
Pretty impossible, that!I would love there to be no political parties full stop

How do you plan to stop people with similar interests working together?
No, I'd agree. What seems more noteworthy to this outsider, is how the USA becomes more like us. It used to be the case you'd get a number of Mitt Romneys on either side of their divide, who'd vote against their party on certain principles, but that seems to happen less and less recently.Could be a matter of perception, but it doesn't seem any more tribal today than over the course of my interest and memory, going back to the 70s. In fact, given the total fractionalisation of the Labour party I'd say it's only more tribal in the sense that whereas as it used to be about two tribes against each other it's now about one tribal vs many the many tribes within intersectional Labour.

There are also, and always have been, factions within the tories.
They've just always been good at putting their differences to one side when required which looks an impossibility for Labour.

The SNP locally and Alba Party nationally. Should even itself out for a decent shout on independence.
Bizarre but each to their own
Still love you guys down there but it is about time Scotland makes her own way in the world.
Now it could be the choice of an England, Scottish, Irish or EU Passport
