Rebooted. Clock wrong.
1hr later, clock still wrong?

 
Probably due to using systemd-timesyncd which I've never seen actuall
working. Install the ntp service and it will work.
 

 
Its very very weird.
 
It is systemd.timesyncd, and it sometimes says it cant connect, and very
very occasionally seems to connect.

That is, it hasn't actually contacted a time server in 12 hours.
 
And the clock is about 2 seconds out.
 

I don't think your poblem is with systemd-timesyncd, it's with the
network.  You appear to have an unstable connection which is why it
keeps saying "Network configuration changed, trying to establish
connection."

Also that IP address doesn't work for me either:-

I don't know why your system is trying 162.159.200.123 and not the
alternatives, mine seem to find a working IP OK.  Is your DNS good?
