Where are you Swag?

How much rain have you had?

You could try watering on a weak solution of Epsom salts - that will sometimes help.

Yeah my raspberries are rubbish this year too! Must be the weather?

It's magnesium deficiency. Raspberries are prone to it, especially on neutral and alkaline soils (they prefer it slightly acidic).
As said above, you should treat it with epsom salts. Don't water it on, though, it takes too long to take effect. Rather, dissolve in water (50g per litre) and spray onto the leaves. You should do it two or three times, spaced three weeks apart.

I agree with magnesium if yours look like the link below

I got it last year but have added gypsum/lime to mine so now at neutral ph to reduce root rot risk, and that seems to have reduced magnesium deficiency so far too
