Bed full of some sort of weed - can anyone ID it?

A few weeks ago I put together a couple of small beds planted with about 10 different crops as an exercise now both are full of this, whatever it is.

In fairness seedlings at that stage are awfully similar.

However I've a similar weed here, known locally as wild mustard.

It is a little early to call but id be thinking Chickweed or Bittercress. Either way get it out before it goes to seed and becomes a problem.

Cheers. I planted a mustard but in a row, I didn't sneeze! I'll get it out tomorrow.

While I was weeding I realised the bed was full of red ants are they an issue for salad leaves?

Finally I forgot to ID this as they were being sown so if anyone can help
