The only thing that would happen if politicians got involved with appointing Supreme Court judges is that each parliament would send in those that broadly agree with their politics. If the judge is any good they will judge on merit and the law. If not they will do a Bercow and do what they like.

erm I think that is what people are worrying about
and justifyably
political appointees AREN'T always better than those appointed by secret means. The American sustem worked quite well, until Pres Trump ( ah bless!) asked - are you my man?
rather than are you good at your job?

Bless. The already highly politicised Lady Hale(see previous "judgements") is now afraid of the judiciary being politicised by what just happens to be Conservative Government with a large majority. This is the luvvie leftie judge that has revelled in her opportunity to thwart democracy, and was a placement by the marxist left. Stalin knew what to do with judges that did not meet his stringent left wing leanings. Lessons must be learned.
Notice Cassa, that the other lackey isn't querying the Clinton and Obama appointments to the Supreme Court in the U.S.? They never do though do they? Just play smart arris with diversion spoilers and insolent half wit leitmotifs. Hale is going. Good. Hail and farewell(not too well I hope). Replace her with your own dogsbody Boris. I would. :))
If you don’t think Trump has twisted the US judiciary to his own ends, then you should read this:

1 in every 4 circuit court judges is now a Trump placement.

Yes, she is right. Judges are being labelled "political" for making judgements that others disagree with. There is nothing more to it than that. Read the judgements -- particularly those that go with the government -- and you'll see that judges know their job pretty well, actually. It's all a nonsense to remove and destroy a vital independent check on the political system, and would be fatally undermined by any US-style system.
