There is a low expansion adhesive foam available, probably from the Forum's favourite building chemical company, Soudal.

The green Gripfill from Screwfix seems ideal - goes off pretty quickly but you've got a minute or so to squidge it into place. For a whole room you'd probably need three or four tubes but it's cheap.
Finished off with a squirt of caulk along the top.
I imagine if the skirting ever needs to come off it will bring some of the plaster/render with it though.

The yellow grip fill is a bit nicer to work with as it has less (or no) solvent. Either one works unless you have curved skirting or walls in which case a screw is pretty normal. I prefer to plug mine properly or get them in a stud if it's a plasterboard wall.

Fixing skirting. What's the best adhesive? Sure I read something here about some kind of foam.
