Also sometimes 2 different switched lives, so that you can have all or half lights on in a complex fitting.
Do the regs allow the use of a 3 core and earth cable for 2 switched lives or must 2 twin and earth cables be used?

There's a little more to the MF requirement than that unfortunately - as well using spring terminals the cables need to be secured (clamped) and usually the terminals de-rated to increase reliability - and to comply with the letter of the regs the whole assembly has to have been marked "MF" by the manufacturer. Just chucking a few Wagos into a Wiska box won't quite cut it.
