J.K. Rowling shuts down Daily Mail headline in 1 resounding tweet
LONDON -- The Queen of Twitter has struck again.
On Monday, following the High Court ruling that UK Prime Minister Theresa May cannot officially begin Brexit negotiations without MPs voting on it first, the Daily Mail published an article about the three judges behind the decision.
As soon as the article had been published, screengrabs appearing to show the original headline -- which described one judge as "an openly gay ex-Olympic fencer" -- started doing the rounds on Twitter.
