The head of investigations at the Welsh Ombudsman’s office is herself under investigation for breaching impartiality rules following a series of social media postings including one in which she wrote: “F*** the Tories”.

Nation.Cymru has already reported that an inquiry is underway into a senior employee since the office was contacted about the postings earlier this week.

We have now established that the employee concerned is Sinead Cook, the Ombudsman’s Investigations Team Manager – a fact that raises major concerns about the running of the office and whether past complaints have been handled fairly.

Ms Cook, who has worked for the Ombudsman’s office for nearly a decade, has now disabled the Twitter / X account she ran under the pseudonym @SweetlittleSewandsew. She also posted messages using the aliases Schnade Cee and Smoogi Cookster.

Pretty much this, incredibly thankful that we have a genuine left-wing alternative in Plaid here in Wales. I genuinely feel for the English with their choices there.
