This looks like a purple damson plum. A small edible plum native to Britain. Welcome to GrowsOnYou.

Either Damson as Bathgate says, or Bullace, a type of wild plum. The one on the left has signs of Plum moth larva damage to it.

certainly a plum family member. as to which that is down to foliage and flower form. they tend to be a bit on the bitter side.

Unlikely to be poisonous, and probably good for cooking even if not for eating raw.
