With her calm demeanor and giant spider brooch, Lady Hale, the president of the U.K. Supreme Court, captured social media attention when she delivered a new blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson this Tuesday.
After a career as a lawyer and judge, Lady Hale was appointed to the House of Lords, later becoming one of the first justices and only woman on the newly established U.K. Supreme Court in 2009. An advocate against sexism in the judiciary, she has called out her fellow justices, saying the U.K.'s legal institutions are"not only mainly male, overwhelmingly white, but also largely the product of a limited range of educational institutions and social backgrounds."
Some commentators have speculated whether Lady Hale was trying to send a message with her stylistic choices:
Let us all know how many on the Left are on the U.K. Supreme Court?
This is the example I want for my country!!!
Seems like the Trumpeter's are both going down.
What a nice smile from an executioner.

If Boris broke the law, will they lock him up? Oh, never mind, politicians never lock up another politician.
The people have voted multiple times to leave the EU and Boris is the only one trying to give the people what they voted for.
Heh, if his actions were 'void and of no effect.' what of the queen's agreement to it? i don't understand what actual effect this decision will have on a no deal brexit. Did the court and parliament just usurp the queen?
The EU pays well
Another unelected, unaccountable politician posing as judge. Another nail in UK coffin. RIP UK democracy.
...creepy
