There is no loose earth to do so. The one you see is connected to that little block that runs into another cable and back up into the wall. I'm assuming it's there to earth the extractor fan or something.
Ah okay, so I could just add a new extra earth in the same little block and fly to the switch plate? Any reason why it's currently wired the way it is? Most switches I've seen tend to have the earth connected to the switch plate or backing box
Depends on the manufacturer and material of plate and back box. Both plastic, so not required but cpc (earth) needs to be kept continuous
Your existing switch and mounting box are both plastic, don't require an earth connection , and dont have any connection terminals . Hence the earth conductors have been connected together in an insulated terminal block. Connect them to the switch plates earth terminal !
Guess so, show off.
Is it only me who can see the earth wires ?1 or 2? are connected to a BLUE wire oversleeved BROWN ?

This needs to be investigated before making any changes.
