Free these penguins!
A group of 75 MPs are calling for the release of 15 penguins “trapped” in a small enclosure “without sunlight or fresh air” at the Sea Life London Aquarium.
Housing the 15 gentoo penguins at the attraction on the South Bank was “un-British”, said the leader of the campaign.

15 penguins are trapped underground at Sea Life London — no sunlight, no real space, no freedom.
We joined protesters demanding their release. No matter how slick the tanks look, cruelty isn’t conservation — it’s exploitation.
And we will keep fighting!

This is a historic result for Caerffili, it’s a historic result for Plaid Cymru, it’s a historic result for Wales’ political story.
Caerphilly has proven that Plaid Cymru has the momentum and can replace Labour as Wales’ leading party of government in May next year.

The people of Caerffili saw that Reform UK don’t care about Wales – they're using us as a stepping stone for Farage to get himself into No.10.
Plaid Cymru's team of strong, local champions will always show up for our communities, not just when it suits them for personal gain.
