UK is still a EU member. Article 20 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of European Union states that "Everyone is equal before the law". Article 21 further expands on forms of discrimination prohibited by the charter.
The UK has legally incorporated the requirements of the Charter via the Human Rights Act.
Even if the UK were to exit the EU, the UK is also a member of the Council of Europe, and bound by the European Convention on Human Rights, and discrimination under the law is also prohibited by Article 14 of the ECHR.
