Many thanks again, Jolan.

My effort:

1)thrombi
2)out of sight
3)talk-in
4)coachmen (I think)
5)cenotaph

Just three to offer:

1. Thrombi - subtractive anagram - my favourite
2. Out of sight - double definition
3. Talk-in (can=tin) around (w)alk(s)

A lot of head-scratching but fun as always.
Thanks jolan x

still no 5 scratches head furiously

1. British to dump insane but not stupid clots (7)
THROMBI - anagram of british to dump, less the letters of stupid

2. Marvellous! It’s hidden (3,2,5)
OUT OF SIGHT (double definition)

3. An informal, yet intensive, discussion can take place around endless walks (4-2)
TALK-IN - wALKs in TIN ( for CAN)

4. Whips grow weary with each one coming back to earth (8)
FLAGELLA = FLAG + ALL E back

5. Communist Party and Hungary embrace in agreement about an empty tomb (8)
CENOTAPH - I have CP for Communist Party and H for Hungary - with ATONE backwards?

I neglected to add my thanks to jolan for an entertaining afternoon's head-scratching.

"AT ONE" in #5 is probably better than "ATONE" - I didn't see that.
