Thanks for all the bananas
Great thanks 
OK one more -
Is it normal to be able to roll the wheel a few degrees when locking the back brake?
The rotor and cassette don't move but the wheel itself does for a few centimetres.
Not if the rotor isn't moving either. Check the rotor bolts are tight.OK one more -

Ah the cassette locking nut was loose, could be it?

There is a fare bit of play if they're center-lock brakes.
A shitty hubWhat is this sitting on the end of the hub axle?
It has threads but simply pops off![]()

Most brakes will allow the pads to "float" in the caliper a little bit, so that will allow a small amount of back & forward movement of the wheel through the brake. However if the rotor is not moving in the brake, the ONLY possibility is that the bolts or lockring are not tight enough.
Possible, but in that instance the rotor would move with the wheel.Caliper might be loose on the frame @HamboCairns
