Unlikely to be driveshaft.

Crap tyres. Unbalanced tyres. Bent/worn control arms, tie rods.

Swap rear wheels to front as a first step. I presume you had the wheels balanced and they told you there was no buckles?

had tyres off and wheels properly checked, swapped front to back etc
this is not your normal wobble, its very bad
would the cv joing be causing this?

Sounds like an inner cv joint problem Stephen.
