the cable on the left is the switch wire, the other 2 cables are feed in and feed out ( doesn't matter which )..
since you only have feed in then lets say it's the middle one..

since you've sent me a private message I'll share it here..

it's not a ceiling rose he's talking about, it's a fitting with connector blocks..

so ..

you put the 2 browns in a seperate terminal block together ( or the one marked loop if they provide one ) , the blue from the feed wire in the N terminal and the blue from the switch wire in the L terminal ( sleeve it brown.. )
earths in the earth terminal..
