Should I be bringing it inside?
yes, to help the chilies to ripen (they need mostly warmth to ripen, not sunlight)
beyond that I wouldn't get my hopes up with this plant, sorry to say but it looks very beat up and probably won't recover no matter where you plant it next

Ah. That's a shame ;(
My wife and youngest bought it as a present to replace my jalapeño. I've just been too side tracked with house stuff to think about the garden.
I've potted it up and brought it inside and placed it in the lightest place I have. Got to say I fucking hate how few sunny spots we have this time of year. It's like a fucking exodus to the back of the house.

What should I do with this basket of fire chili plant? It's currently in the bag it came in, in a side alley which doesn't get much sun any more.
Should I be bringing it inside?
It's designed to go in a hanging basket, and as you can see its in this rectangular wall mounted thing and it'd be cool if it filled the pot - can you make your own pot out of compost bags?
Any other tips welcome.
Cheers.
