I didn't comment because I'm not sure if you are removing a surface mounted socket or how you're planning to connect the tv. There are some specialised tv back boxes which have a normal plug sunk into the box so it can go behind a tv. What you seem to be proposing should be ok, I'm guessing you would use Wago or similar spring connectors. If you have a photo of the current socket it might be easier to advise you.

I'm planning to remove the socket altogether. It's currently about 1.5m from the floor and is designed to allow for a TV on a wall bracket to use the power cable there rather than down where sockets would usually be.
In reality, for this TV, it will just get in the way of a total flush mount. I want to:
- remove the faceplate and backbox entirely / permanently and, at least for now, cover with just some masking tape etc
- use the plug sockets in my cabinet below by running the power lead, HDMI and ethernet leads through the wall from the bottom of the TV to the cabinet
Here's a super crude version of my plan with the existing TV in place...
- remove the faceplate and backbox entirely / permanently and, at least for now, cover with just some masking tape etc

Thanks @Airhead @Bobbo
Assume my approach to removing the wall socket is okay?
