Looks like ragwort to me, highly toxic to humans and animals alike.

Thanks sandy. I'm not having much luck with find edible weeds. So far all I have managed to find are dandelion, hoary plantain and white clover.

I agree with Sandy. Ragwort, which is quite a nasty one. Keep trying as there will be other edibles around.
