Have just had another internet search on these after seeing more this morning - there are quite a few about on knapweed flowers.
This particular species seems to be the potato capsid bug Closteromotomus norwegicus.
Stenotus binotatus females do look similar to my photograph, but the clincher seems to be that the second antenna segment is of similar length to the third and fourth segments combined.
The British bugs site has lots of photographs of lots of species. I don't know how comprehensive it is, but it's the best I've seen so far.
