Hmm not sure Andy but there's lots of very knowledgeable gardeners here
The only thing I 'can' see is a honeysuckle below it?
Belladonna? Deadly nightshade?
I can't even see the honeysuckle
I don't think this is a plant I'm familiar with but given a close up of stems, flowers and overall manner of growth I might be able to put it in a family.
It's a bit small
and I can't enlarge it

Hi, I would say it is a member of the nightshade family too.
maybe in the deadly nightshade family......maybe a Solanum laxum or crispum.
though a bit early for flowering???
I don't think deadly nightshade (belladonna) flowers hang in clusters like that, although as Bamboogie says other nightshade / solanum types do...
If you google Black Nightshade,it looks very similar indeed.The colour of the flowers and clustered too.The leaves are very waxy on this plant Andy,is there is chance it could have guzzled some plant feed?
The honeysuckle is to the right nutcutlet,or below if you view the pic on its side.At least it looks like honeysuckle
Solanum nigrum, black nightshade is in my collection of weeds and I'm not seeing it in that photo.
Any chance of a few more photos Andy?

But then as Bamboogie suggested,solanum crispum fits the bill?
