on what charges is he being held in the UK?

Arrested in 2019 when his Ecuadorian asylum was revoked, charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, maximum 5y sentence. Was changed a month later to be the Espionage Act charges.

Those all stem from the US though, I think he's only detained by the UK for extradition?

Yes. We prosecuted him for jumping bail by going to the embassy, but he's served his sentence for that. He's only being held for possible extradition.
And for breaking the terms of his bail conditions by legging it to the Ecuadorian embassy in the first place.
For skipping bail
