Lady Hale spider brooch t-shirt raises thousands for Shelter

Uxbridge firm Balcony Shirts has raised over £15,000 for Shelter so far through eBay sales of a t-shirt designed in honour of Supreme Court Judge Lady Hale. Lady Hale wore a spider brooch when she delivered the judgement that Boris Johnson's advice to the Queen to suspend Parliament was unlawful. Many took her choice to be a veiled message on the Prime Minister. In response to the popularity of Lady Hale's choice, garment printers and embroiderers Balcony Shirts, which coincidentally is based in Johnson's constituency, created a black t-shirt bearing an embroidered silver spider. The response was such that it put the t-shirt on eBay for £10, pledging to give 30% of this to Shelter. In a day, it saw sales take off, and has now sold over 6,500, and raised over £15,000 so far for the charity. https://twitter.com/balconyshirts/status/1176452500129554433 https://twitter.com/balconyshirts/status/1176632508470976512 https://twitter.com/Shelter/status/1176552452323184642
