Who Watches the Watchdog

 The post-Brexit Office for Environmental Protection now legally exists although it doesn't yet have its fully intended powers. With this government's woeful history of post-Brexit legislation and action the sceptic in me wonders just what we may expect from this body. Already there are suggestions that Defra ministers will have the ability to meddle in the Office's affairs and that it cannot ever be regarded as truly independent. So - who watches the watchdogs?
