If removing the two wires from the room stat that connect to the boiler to place a link in the room stat terminals in the boiler. As I think a faulty room stat is stopping the boiler from firing. Is it acceptable to leave the link in till I can pop back with a new stat? Bad practice I guess

link them in the stat?
Why not fit a light switch in place of the stat? These things all go on a standard wall box. Then the wires are not exposed, and you can switch the heating on and off at will.

Link it in the boiler..Turn dial up when you need heating.
There's a 3core live netutal earth mains to the boiler. Then a separate 2 core cable that comes from the stat.

Or disconnect at the fused connection unit? Easier Shaun’s way though.

You do not link them in the boiler mate as for some boilers you have to be gas safe registered to access to cables you are talking about.

But this is an open forum mate.both are
What makes you think the room stat is at fault? Link them out, just connect them into one room stat terminal, and test fire boiler before purchasing new room stat. Make sure that you link the correct wires!
This may all seem obvious, but I fear that the OP's questions suggest a limited range of experience.
