My last one, I think I have the answer but try as I may I can't parse it:

20D Repeated slogan one in Labour facilty sent up (6).

_ A _ T _ A

I can only think this is MANTRA (= repeated slogan) but how the rest of the clue works I really don't know. Any suggestions please.

One definition of Man is 'someone in work, a labourer', so 'one in labour' works (!) and Tra is Art, facility, skill, reversed/up.

One in Labour = MAN + faculty = ART (rev)

Or is it ‘facility’ which also works for ART

Thank you Malone and Jono though I have to say that I think it's a pretty weak clue. Even your jokes seem good in comparison Jono!
