A senior barrister will lead an independent review into Wales' public services watchdog.

It follows the resignation of a former Public Services Ombudsman for Wales investigator, who faced accusations of political bias.

Sinead Cook allegedly made comments on social media including one that used offensive language about Conservatives.

The review's remit will include an examination of cases where Ms Cook and her team decided not to investigate.

The ombudsman's office investigates complaints made by the public about public bodies and councillors accused of breaking their code of conduct.

Its guiding principles include impartiality and independence.

I never really understand when Conservatives get called out for being assholes. They know they are assholes. We know they are assholes. Why get all twisted about it?

As much as I agree with the majority of this, I genuinely think a significant portion of the conservatives have no idea that they're gigantic asses.

They're living in this toxic echo chamber where their views are celebrated universally and any dissent is woke and therefore irrelevant.
