This sounds potentially unlawful, along with the dropping of his other show, and Rachel Creeger’s. The Equality Act should protect comedians from policies which are indirectly discriminatory against Jewish people, and also against discrimination for holding protected beliefs.
Following on from news my & Aaron Levene’s long running compilation show, Jew-O-Rama, was being cancelled by Whistlebinkies due to concerns over “staff safety”, yesterday I learnt that my solo show, Shall I Compere Thee in a Funny Way? was being dropped by Banshee Labyrinth. 1/8

All of this is correct - as I think Lord Wolfson accepts (implicitly at least), the Official Secrets Act could not be enforced (nor could any criminal sanction) against a Member of Parliament for something they said in the Parliamentary chamber, because of section 9 of the Bill.
As the Joint Committee on Parliamentary Privilege (selectively quoted by @ZiaYusufUK) said in the very first sentence “The privilege of freedom of speech in Parliament places a corresponding duty on every member to use the freedom responsibly". Article 9 of the Bill of Rights.

Re the above - whilst the court seems to have come up with the idea, the (previous) government then took up the suggestion and defended it for two further years.

Also, one key fact which isn't being well reported is that the injunction was the MOD's idea, the SUPER injunction (prohibiting the fact there was an injunction being reported) was apparently the Court's idea at a hearing on 1.9.23.

I don't know what I think about the overall story yet - I haven't read the judgments in full. I can see it was incredibly difficult for our institutions to deal with, and was basically the MOD's fault that this data was breached and it was trying to repair that. I am pretty.
