Look further into hogweed and see what you think.

Don’t think it can be related to hogweed. This thing grows flat to the ground

Some might call it cow parsnip. What kind of stems?

Fleshy sort of stem , quite thick

If its not hogweed then its probably eltrot according to plantnet. I've never heard of eltrot. Well it looks like eltrot is also a type of hogweed or cow parsnip.

Although hogweed grows here in Scotland, I think cow parsnip likes dry sandy condtion. My little patch has underlying boulder clay with poor drainage.

Ahh. So you speak weed? That is a good thing around here.

Any plant in the wrong place is a weed. This is a weedive never come across before

I have given up on trying to identify this plant. I’m just going to have to kill it. It’s rooted in a gap between slabs. Used a viscous weed killer on it last year and it completely disappeared, came bac this year. Have to get more serious about getting rid of it. Thanks everyone for suggestions.
