So now we know it's not what we thought - it has purple and yellow
flowers.
Can someone please help us identify this?

Heh. That's almost certainly Bittersweet - Solanum Dulcamera:

A lot of people [incorrectly] refer to it as 'Deadly Nightshade'. It -is-
somewhat poisonous, and opinions on whether it's a weed or not tend to
vary ;

Personally I like the flowers (and the red berries later on), so I have
a small patch of it in my garden.


You like the berries? Do you eat them?
