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?

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

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

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.

Looks like Campsis radicans

Looks like a begonia, possibly grandis

Well spotted. It didn't occur to me, but now you've said it , I can see it looks precisely like it. I hope OP's flowers. Mine sulks, and is far from the rampant beasty it is supposed to be, and has never given me a flower.

Same here. I must try lateral thinking. Of course now Charlie has
said it and looking more closely at the top growth, I can see it.

Good - thanks for those.

Re the Campsis - I've only just twigged, there's a mature one of these
flowering in my garden right now a few feet away but this tiny thing,
only just come to my notice this year, hasn't flowered so far. I
didn't recognise it.

Is this a safe time to move it to another spot in the garden?

They seem to sulk a bit whenever you move them, but eventually recover.
It's a good plant to pot up for charity plant sales.

But the fact that this one has appeared a few feet from the parent should
start the warning flags flying. It is invasive, and spreads many feet from
the main plant, even pushing up in the gaps between paving stones.
