Does anyone have a clue as to what this could be? I have it growing in the
borders of a field at the end of my garden in south east uk every autumn.
I self seeds and seems to be an annual.

Could it be an Abelmoschus of some sort?
I doubt that an Abelmoschus would self-seed in the UK climate.
I don't recognise the plant by jizz, and the photograph isn't clear
enough to make out details - the only thing I can say for certain is
that the foliage is long-petiolate and palmately lobed - that would help
pin down the identity, but if the purple clumps are inflorescences then
it clearly isn't an Abelmoschus.
