What is this? Is it a weed?

    Judging by the leaves and likely flower colour I'd guess it was one of the nightshades (solanum)

    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Looks like Solanum dulcamara to me ... Bittersweet or Woody Nightshade

    I’m told it’s poisonous? We have a rampant version that we regularly hack back

    Yes, like many of the Solanum family (potatoes, tomatoes etc) all or parts of it can be poisonous.
