Appalling.
I don't know what the fuse is that the T&E going to the meter is, but I hope its a small one!
Also, it is not permitted to have single insulated conductors like those dangling from the T&E sheaths. They must be insulated and sheathed cables (aka "meter tails").

Wow, I wish I could make my installations look as neat and professional as that one.
when you find out who did it, you must pass on his number.
I might even give him some earth sleeving as a tip so he can finish tidying up the couple of things he overlooked.
