Even better, would anyone advise me how to install these wires back in to this double switch, they came lose so I couldn’t see how they were connected

Hi all. I’m on a day of learning today! Can someone please explain to me the wiring in these pictures? There seems to be three live, three neutral, and three earth wires on this single switch? Many thanks

I tested on a stud wall I am knocking down; the hollow wall anchors were hopeless and the plasplugs were solid! Am I doing something wrong?

The wall anchors worked great, many thanks!
