Bleed it out again? As you first get biggish bubbles when you bleed, then you get tiny bubbles the kind you get in beer. Which collectively can add up to a lot of air in the system.

Firstly grab the caliper and give it a shake. Then bleed it, tube on the nipple, tube submerged in brake fluid, once the big bubbles are gone, squeeze the brake lever 5-10 times per release of the nipple. You should usually get pressure after doing this 10+ times. As a final air out solution tie the lever to the bar over night, then release the nipple once more.

Another trick is to gentle (that's gently) tap the calliper(s) and lines to loosen any air bubbles. I generally use the handle of a screwdriver but its personal preference.

On tieing the lever back to the bars (or if rear put a brick on/tied down the pedal) overnight usually works for me.

being really fun, not, process of elimination, not master cylinder, not calipers, new bleed nipples old ones where crushed (stupid garage), splitter tube... bingo.

Its a 1 into 2 lines via a splitter tube, splitter tube keeps seeping fluid from the banjo bolts each end, no matter how tight (35nm max)
been advised to just change it to 2 lines from the master cylinder, so just need to measure pipe lengths and new banjo bolts,

thanks to everyone for help
