And when you do it, bleed it with slave clamped down with a g clamp and socket

exactly mate. I spent a good 3-4 hours going mad trying to bleed mine and it had a new slave. I’ve even got a new master in the box of spares as couldn’t work it out! I fully stripped my existing master and rebuilt as was struggling so much.
Was then advised on here by @Hicap phill to do the above and it bled first time

Good explanation.
Clutches and brakes move SO little before acting, and this demonstrated this very well.
He didn't mention it, but if you can't get anything else in there, you can sometimes use wire wrapped round and round.
Or simply take it off the vehicle and then clamp it, there is usually enough flexibility built into the piping.

If you're very lucky it will self bleed overnight.
