   Physically impossible for road speed to stay static while revs increase in gear.
   
   Unless you're riding the clutch or have a clutch problem.

   recently i have noticed when im pulling away from a stand still its jerky, does that fall in line with a clutch problem?

   Yes that could be a clutch problem.
   
   With the handbrake/brakes on, gently engage the clutch. if it shudders it probably needs replaced.
   
   Does the clutch slip in any other gears?

   Well, based on what you've said that sounds like the clutch is slipping.
   
   I'd check the clutch cable first, incase it simply needs adjusting.
