Could you please tell me if this is a weed? Should I pull them all
out?
Thanks for the help.

I think it is called Rose Bay Willow Herb, I believe it is from Canada
originally, If it was in my garden I would pull it out.

I don't think it's rosebay. Leaves paler green and not so glossy. I
think it's broad-leaved.

I agree, probably Broad-Leaved Willow Herb. This has an unremarkable flower
display and I would pull it out. Leaving aside their tendency to be
invasive, the only
two WillowHerbs that I think make a charming floral display are Rose-Bay
Willow
Herb, which can be seen in great clumps along the motorways in August, and
Great
Willowherb, AKA 'Codlins and Cream'.

Andy.
Thanks everyone for the help. I'll pull it out.
