Employer with winding up order

Hey,
So a couple of weeks back, it was made public that HMRC issued a winding up order against my employer, which is a small, single site based office, with 20 staff. I was actually informed by a customer, and a supplier, before I heard anything from my boss, the Managing Director, which was about 5pm in the afternoon the day it was in the Gazette.
Since then, I have had no communication from my MD, but he has been divulging 'future plans' to a number of people within my team and who sit below me as their line manager. My contract is home working based, with travel into the office when needed.
I was working from home, when the company chairman and Managing Director, discussed what was happening to the company, plans moving forwards, and what they were hoping to happen in court against HMRC. Neither myself, as a remote worker, or any members of staff off shift / on holiday were invited to dial in to this meeting, which would have been possible, or even informed it was happening.
Is there possible grounds for discrimination based on working conditions here, and is the whole process of the winding up order being handled correctly? We are being told to treat it as business as usual, and to continue trading and taking new customers on board.
Thanks
