Diesels are compression-ignition engines
If there's fuel, squirted in at the right time, and compression and the engine turns, it should run.
Glow plugs are to help cold starts - shouldn't be necessary in UK yet.
Have you tried the previously suggested squirt of easy start, as this will prove you have compression?
Sounds like something is inhibiting the actual squirt of fuel by the injectors - but I'm out of my knowledge depth after that.
