My leafbeet/perpetual spinach is bolting (general neglect and abuse) - if I
remove flower stalks etc. will it soldier on?
i.e. is it different from 'normal' spinach and keeps growing after
flowering?

Once your leaf-beet begins to run to seed its productive life is drawing
to a close. Taking the flower stalks off will keep it going a little
longer but by that time you should have that following year's plants
ready to start cropping. It can be picked on a 'cut-and-come-again'
basis all through the year -- until it runs to seed that is.
