Original Note:
This post is misleading. MPs aren’t “gagged” but are following contempt of court rules. This restricts MPs from commenting on active cases to avoid influencing legal proceedings. They can still discuss broader issues without risking fair trial processes. Source: https://www.gov.uk/contempt-of-court https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/contempt-court
