There's 3 solutions:
1. Dot and dab plasterboard and then skim
2. Use a traditional two coat plaster system, in this instance hardwall to level followed by skim coat.
3. Batten and plasterboard followed by skim.
Non of these will be exactly easy at present as there is a shortage of almost all gypsum plaster products. Also @Señor_Bear will likely need more than just one pallet of either undercoat plaster or dot and dab adhesive to do the job if that is an accurate sample of the walls.

Whoever did work in our place levelled the wall with cement, then skimmed with gypsum.

It was amazingly efficient at wicking water up from below the DPC that they also cemented across.

Also as an option 4. lime plaster (with horsehair, pozzolan and all of hat old-fashioned gubbins) then skim.
