Hi, looking at the answers to yesterday's puzzle, I'm still puzzled.

11 across.
"A vote celebrity reversed for one making cuts" - answer = axeman.

26 across.
"Aim held by figure leading outsiders from crazy political faction" - answer = Tendancy.

17 down.
"Probe elected part of church reportedly" - answer = Inquire.

22 down.
"Flower raised in row with no end care" -
answer = Lupin.

Thanks.

A vote is a x (a cross) and then NAME (celebrity) going backwards

ok. Thanks for that Tinkerbell.

26a Tendency....END (aim)in TEN (figure) CY (outside letters of CrazY)

17d IN QUIRE (choir!)

22d Lupin...UP in LIN(e) (row less E -no end of carE)

Tony thanks, some good tips there.

RE.

Just curious about the 'political faction' bit.

One of the definitions of tendency in Chambers is-
'a faction within a particular political movement'.

Thank you. Was just getting there as I thought more about it!
