You can legally pass them in L1.Highway code 267 and 268:
Rule 267
Do not overtake unless you are sure it is safe and legal to do so. Overtake only on the right. You should:
- check your mirrors
- take time to judge the speeds correctly
- make sure that the lane you will be joining is sufficiently clear ahead and behind
- take a quick sideways glance into the blind spot area to verify the position of a vehicle that may have disappeared from your view in the mirror
- remember that traffic may be coming up behind you very quickly. Check all your mirrors carefully. Look out for motorcyclists. When it is safe to do so, signal in plenty of time, then move out
- ensure you do not cut in on the vehicle you have overtaken
- be especially careful at night and in poor visibility when it is harder to judge speed and distance.
Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.

Does a solitary MLM count as congested conditions?

To legally overtake an MLM on an otherwise deserted motorway.
You can legally pass them in L1. The Highway Code said:
Overtaking on the nearside (left) is legally acceptable if you are driving on a multi-lane carriageway in congested conditions, and the lane to the left is moving at a faster speed than lanes to the right. In these circumstances overtaking on the left is permissible.
You can pass on the left if the left lane is moving faster, if you're already in that lane it's not even considered overtaking. So it seems the Highway code is using Facebook to tell people to keep left...
Perhaps the powers that be should use the dot matrix signs as well, instead of telling people that the weather is bad or that a road some 150 miles away is closed...
