So I've taken out a chain link, which has tightened up the deraileur and allowed for more chain wrap around the freewheel as suggested.
I have also ordered a decent Regina freewheel which should arrive next week.
In the mean time the drive and ride has improved a great deal, thanks @Jonny69

Looking at this pic: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15166084/
Did you try swinging the derailleur much further forwards to get more chain wrap? As you have it in the pic, the chain isn’t engaging with much of the cog. My feeling is the jockey wheel needs to pull up really close to the cog.
Also, I think you want an older style chain like a plain-sided 5/6 speed chain with no ramps or a 3/32” SS chain.
