The picture of them looking fine was just a week or 2 ago, the handful of dead leaves I had cut off a few hours earlier before taking the picture but the appearance of them were no different on the plants. It’s possible one of our horrible neighbours has done something but I am not 100%

The commonest cause of wilting tomatoes is lack of water, and that looks quite a small pot for a large plant. It is much easier to maintain even temperature and moisture in a larger pot, I use 14 litre buckets for greenhouse tomatoes, and the ones outside in the ground still do better.

Tomato leaves often turn a bit raggedy late in the season. I think the general advice is to just snap or cut them off. I agree that those pots look a bit small. Do you feed them at all?

They get fed and watered regularly, small pots yes but this issue has only just occurred very suddenly, none of my other ones have done anything similar tho they are in different locations and in planters but closely planted
