Silencing Sir Philip Green's alleged British victims while his former employees in America speak out on is "making a mockery" of the UK’s legal system, experts and MPs have said.

The Topshop billionaire was yesterday accused of waging an almost year-long campaign of sexual harassment and bullying against a manager in his Las Vegas store.

But whilst Auna Irvine, 33, was able to detail how he would regularly smack her bottom, grab her by the waist, make comments about her weight and breasts and tell her she was “naughty”, gagging orders remain in place to prevent British members of staff speaking out.

Sir Philip also has an injunction against the Daily Telegraph preventing this newspaper printing allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination that happened in the UK. The businessman has spoken publicly about the claims, dismissing them as “banter”.

Jess Phillips MP, who sits on the Women and Equalities Committee, said: "It makes a massive mockery of our legal system that women in the UK are being silenced with collusion from the British legal system, because in this instance it appears as collusion and it appears as if our laws are for one group of people and not the other.”
