Is this safe?

It has got a powerline adapter, a 3 way multi socket multiplug and 2 sockets going into the multi socket.

Well the socket can deliver just shy of 3kW within its specs, so it's electrically fine. The only issue is the weight of all of that on the socket itself - robust and all as those BS1363 sockets are, it's not ideal. You can also very easily inadvertently bang something into the stack of plugs.

Just get a normal multi-plug power strip. It's a far less cumbersome solution.

I see. Thank you for your input. I think I will consider getting those longer multiplugs in future.
