Can My Employer Discipline Me Over This?

Card image cap

So this afternoon in the work group chat the message comes in as follows;

Boss : [unrelated message]

Boss: And no talking about pay!!

Me: to customers or eachother?

Boss: Too anyone

Me: [Screenshot of the 2010 Equality Act, stating Employees have a right to discuss Salary and employers have no legal standing to stop you talking about what you earn]

Boss: Wow

I’m not in work today so I have no idea what brought this message on, and I’m now concerned I probably shouldn’t have done that but I’m annoyed at the random rules he’s trying to enforce. And for extra context, we haven’t had our contracts yet, so no one has signed anything agreeing to anything of the sorts. What legal standing do I have with this, if he chooses to discipline me over this?
