Billie Eilish funded 7.7 million plant-based meals for the homeless during the "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT THE TOUR".

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

A 7-year-old boy gets on a train in Tokyo. Alone. No mother. No phone. No adult watching him at all. He bows to the driver, finds his seat, and folds his hands in his lap. He is going to school. By himself. Across a city of 14 million strangers. And not one person on that train thinks anything is wrong. A businessman glances up, then goes back to his paper. An old woman smiles at the boy and looks away. Nobody films him. Nobody calls anyone. Nobody is afraid. Because in Japan, a small child alone is not a victim waiting to happen. He is just a kid going to school. Like every kid before him. I grew up being told the opposite. Lock the door. Watch your back. Trust no one. Never let them out of your sight, not for one second, or the world will take them. And somewhere along the way, I started to believe that was simply the truth. Then I watched a 7-year-old ride home alone through a city of millions. And step off at his stop. And walk the rest of the way. Safe. We had this once, too. A street that watched your kids. A town that brought them home. Japan didn't find some secret. They just never stopped being decent to each other. Quietly. Every single day. While the rest of us forgot we ever could. That little boy will get home tonight. He always does.

I have been sickened all day by the news of three boys who lured two schoolgirls, raped them, and filmed it on their phones while they laughed and egged each other on. When they finally stood before a judge this week, they were handed “rehabilitation orders” and walked out without serving a single day behind bars. Not in prison, not in custody or a young offender institution. The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison”. What message does that send to rapists? The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all. It’s the collapse of consequences and the rot runs right through the justice system. And this is only going to get worse because Labour are choosing to go soft on criminals: ❌ They have abolished short prison sentences. ❌ They have let tens of thousands of criminals out early. ❌ And now they want to raise the age of criminal responsibility, so that even MORE young offenders escape any consequence at all. My position is common sense👇 PRISON WORKS. ✅It punishes those who do wrong, it keeps dangerous people off our streets and away from our children. ✅It tells every victim that the law is on their side. A country that forgets this is a country where schoolgirls are raped and filmed for sport, and the boys who did it get to go home. Conservatives stand against it and our policies on sentencing and prison are the ones that will deliver a stronger country.
