I'll help with a few.

1 It's an anagram of offer and the usual abbreviation for 'shock treaatment'.

12. Milia, white marks (It's 'militia' with 'it' removed, indicated in the clue by 'it leaves').

22. A straightforward anagram which leads to a ruler (as in someone who reigns).

I'm sure you're getting more used to the Spectator style by now and won't want just lists of answers!
