A senior investigator at the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales has been suspended and subsequently resigned after posting derogatory remarks on social media, including 'F*** the Tories', calling Geri Halliwell 'an awful human being', and telling Kirstie Allsopp to 'speak to her Tory buddies'. These comments led to widespread criticism and a call from the Welsh Secretary for a thorough reevaluation of the cases the official had overseen, highlighting the significant political tensions sparked by the incident.
I welcome the resignation of the senior investigator at the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales after being caught making hateful online comments. But we now need every case which she oversaw to be reopened and fully reinvestigated.
