I did look for BG consumer unit as could not quite work out how wired and found this
it seems to show no brown tails below the MCB's I note
@SUNRAY picture but can't see why there would be a brown cable near the RCD, and
@Lol999 did say some one got a shock requiring a hospital visit, and although the CU is not wired well, with joined bus bars, and MCB's not level so points to what
@SUNRAY shows in his picture, can't see how that would result in a shock, maybe a fire, but not a shock.
As to question

Would this level of bodgery be sufficient to warrant a report to HSE?
when were I worked some one was sent to hospital due to a shock the NHS auto informed the HSE and we did get a visit. Oddly as the electrical engineer at the time I only found out after, and it did seem rather odd, seems a worker had stollen an extension lead from the fitters locker so he could run a fire, and the fitter got fined for bringing the extension lead into work, without bringing it to me to PAT test, which seemed wrong some how, as he was clearly not using it as the guy took it from his locker.
I did not get fined, but given a telling off as they found my office not locked. I had not considered the idea people would take things without asking.
I must admit I don't always follow rules to the letter, and have turned a blind eye at times, but where I volunteer now I found a faulty grinder which needed part we had not got to repair it, so needed to go into quarantine, and it seems no system was in place to quarantine items.
However in this case the microwave should be quarantined and the socket locked off until tested, with the MCB locks I use you could not remove the CU front without removing the lock. If anyone who did not have their qualifications logged with the firm was found to have removed the front cover off an CU that would be a dismissal case, until they had copies of my qualifications I was not permitted to touch anything electrical.
The problem is once HSE arrive they also look at other things, I was involved in the Safety walk, and guards were also looked at, and I caught one daft twit walking the pearling to put in a cable, I throw him off site, seems the HSE guy also saw and asked me what I had done, and said good job or I would have taken him to court if I had got there first.
Lucky only happened once to me, I was super careful after that.
