What’s the consensus on cutting in when driving?
Eg. driving up the inside lane knowing that you can’t go your chosen direction in that lane and cutting in, skipping the queue.
***** trick in my book.
It's fine. The roads belong to everybody.
People get ridiculously territorial on roads when behind the wheel, yet passengers in the same car remain perfectly calm, despite suffering the same "infringement" as the driver.

If it's in road works where two lanes merge into one then you are supposed to use both lanes right to the merge point. There is even signs up telling you. Approach to testos at the moment from heworth is terrible. Its dangerous to have one stationary lane and one empty lane on a 70mph road, and its proven then traffic flows quicker when people merge at the very end.

Yesterday driving along the motorway I saw a Wilkinson Sword lorry cut in and almost crash into a Gillette lorry.
Both drivers said it was the closest shave they've ever had.

Yep, so it's fine for one driver to inconvenience everybody else to save a few seconds.
It's only a few seconds, no big deal. It's not very courteous, but really what difference does it make if you get help up by a few extra seconds.
You might be lucky enough to gain those few seconds back when somebody lets you out unexpectedly at a junction. Doesn't really matter.

Undertaking - from what you described here is simply not allowed - highway code rule 268.
The polliss could do you for dangerous driving as a result.

That's very true. My mistake!
I was mixing that up with glossing the skirting boards.
