Cannot parse the following, so explanations if possible please....
A) Namely, how to shift abandoned vehicle (2,3) T*,W*T. Is it "tow it" and why is the comma after the letter "o"? TO WIT????
B) Give a superior position in the job of poison supplier (4) U*A*. Is it upas and if so, why?
C) Dry river - save its environment (4) *R*T. I'm guessing at BRUT but don't understand the rest of the clue.
D) Old-fashioned advice has you making cheap whiskey. Red-eye is cheap whiskey but can't parse it.

A "to wit" means" namely - "The PM, namely May" is the same as "The PM, to wit, May".

C save is "but" - "all, save the PM" = "all but the PM"

B As is the chemical symbol for Arsenic.

D Rede - Advice + Ye - You

Hi rossim
I took "poison supplier" as the definition, so "poison" would be doing double duty?

Hi ChrisE
I've just thought that one through. I was too hasty.

If you promote someone you put them up as......?

I think you might be right, all the same. I can't see any other way of getting the AS.

There was a clear "double duty" clue in today's Guardian.
Maybe son gets Grand Old Party (Republican) revived (5)

"in the job of" = as

That works, mamya

What do you think of the Guardian one?
