Enclosed within the rose and accessible. While not the most elegant of solutions, were any regulations breached?

I don’t think anyone was suggesting it was in breach or even dangerous.
but you have to admit it was a sh!t job.

It was a question, rather than a statement. Thought there may have been something I'd missed.

Don't think Wago's where available when the red and black T&E was installed, but obviously worked on since then, the drop to the light fitting is so short they could have used two blue cables instead of a bit of T&E, keeping the earth.

No, I was just amused at why they’d added in the additional cable and connector blocks. I’m guessing a different light was up there at one point given the cut in the plasterboard too.

Perhaps insufficient terminals in the replacement light, unlike a rose.

You often see this where people have tried to fit an Ikea or John Lewis light that comes with a tiny crappy connector block just big enough to accept 1 x 1mm cable in each connector

Did two of these recently. Amazing they're all stamped with thag "game changing" UK CA mark. The ones I did were the best part of £300, had those stupid connectors, were designed as Class 2 (somehow) and obviously had no way of connecting 3 plate wiring or even anywhere to park the earth.

A bit pointless leaving the inch and a half of of outer sheath really.
