I tend to agree. The formation of the UK Supreme Court was intended to give the Court more political independence but it seems to have had the opposite effect and resulted in extreme loss aversion on the part of the justices, as there is no constitutional provision to protect its existence, unlike in almost every other supreme court around the world.
Ironically, when they were in the House of Lords, the court was less susceptible to interference as it benefited from the constitutional protection of the Lords’ existence and affairs as part of Parliament.
