Invasive weed

The weed in the attached pic is taking over my rockery which is north facing and very damp. Any ideas what it is and the best way to protect against it

It has a number of common names including "Mind Your Own Business". Like all good weeds it propagates very easily. By digging it out you'll create ample cuttings so that it'll propagate itself.

The best measure is to spray it with Triclopyr weedkiller. A popular name brand is SBK Brushwood Killer.
