Trim it into shape after it’s finished flowering. Hard pruning is best carried out in March, but it will be a couple of years or more before they flower well again.

You could always ask it nicely to stop leaning, or you could cut that one branch to even it up

Pin it back with garden wire and it will straighten itself

I don't think you can really. It's growing towards the light and the conservatory is blocking any real growth from that side so the main weight is in the front.

Needs a nice strong stake hit into the ground next to it, so you can tie it up with a rubber strap.

Try and thin out the weight at the front then put in a stake at an angle to help straighten and push it back a little
