I think this is a Euphorbia which I only know as '4 by 4'.
Does it have a white sap if you snapped a piece off?

Yes, definitely Euphorbia lathyrus (caper spurge - but don't try using
the fruits instead of capers, they're poisonous)

This looks very much to me like Japanese Knotwwed. If this is the case you
had better dispose of it quick!!!!

No, definitely not Japanese knotweed, which has spade-shaped leaves -
the leaf bases are not rounded like this. It could be the related
Persicaria wallichii, Himalayan knotweed.
