It looks kind of Cordyline australis-ish (Cabbage "Palm") but the
leaves look too wide and too short. Was this taken outdoors in Kent
(not a trick question photo from holidays in Madagascar)?

I'm guessing a Euphorbia, possibly E. mellifera.

That one's not looking its best so it wasn't the most obvious thing to
spring to mind. Ours are perking up now and starting to look more like
themselves.

Looks like one of the Euphorbia's to me. Does it 'bleed' white sap if you
damage a bit? If so it is one :~))

If it does, keep it away from the eyes
