Yes, you can leave a job anytime you want. Most people provide 2 weeks notice. However, since you have only been at the job 2 weeks, you can leave, and just do not put this job on your resume. They should pay you for the work you provided during your second week, they can't not pay you.

You can find out all you rights from the labour relations agency: www.lra.org.uk

As you have no contract then you can leave but it's only manners to tell your boss that the Job is not working out and that you are sorry but you will have to leave.

They have to pay you.
