I have vegetable bed that is clay soil. It hasn't been used for years.
Which vegetable can I plant in it at this time of year?

Depends how big the plot is.
I would sow some first early potatoes NOW, to harvest in Nov. or Dec.
iirc SW lives in Manchester, likely to have potatoes killed by frost
before then.

Actually I live about 10 miles South of Manchester in sunny, tropical
Cheshire
and when is your first frost date? Because once it happens the
potatoes will lose all their leafy topgrowth and stop growing potatoes.
