Yes certainly looks like ignition switch/loom related, he said "night lights" in dash working they don't need key on nor do the hazards.

my point was that every non-working piece of equipment in this case, suggests a different failure. since it's not possible for all of those faults to occur in the same time [ok,it is possible but very unlikely] there has to be one major cause which would be the loom or the fuseboxes.
although the ignition switch failure covers all the faults it's not likely to brake down.
concluding, if i was going to bet I'd say it's the fusebox or loom as these are two most common electric fault causers.
if it's the switch I owe you a pint  but if it's not I'm taking your Suzuki

Posted today Tim, add another Guinness to my tally
The multiplug for the ignition switch is behind small coin box, down on your right hand side, you can get it from underneath but if you dont know where or what you are looking for and cant see it you'd be better removing the panel with the coin box and bonnet lever, only a couple of screws/torx bits.
If you stick your key in the ignition as normal, plug the new ignition switch in then turn the new switch with a screwdriver it should start

Ok, replacing the ignition switch didnt work. 
Did you try unplugging the multiplug from the back of the light switch and see if that made any difference?

No Not yet
Check the light switch first, then make sure the instrument cluster multiplugs arent loose, test the connections with a multimeter, replace the instrument cluster....
Lots of options yet before we start taking fuseboxes apart
