Probable weed ID please

I had 2 of thes pop up in a space at the front of my border. I don't think I planted them but I've potted them pending an ID now or when flowering. Any help much appreciated.

    Do you grow foxgloves?

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I have a lot of Foxgloves and Verbascum but these don't look like those. Thank you for responding @Dovefromabove

    @Tack I wondered if it could be Alkanet
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Thank you for the suggestion, I just looked again, there are not spots on the older leaves which I think Green Alkanet has.

    Could it be a type of sorrel, @Tack?

    Thank you @Woodgreen and @nutcutlet, I think it is Figwort. I never would have come up with that. This site is great for ID help. Thanks all who looked.
