23d: head = leader (def)
I think it's dash (-) reversed ….giving hsad
hen with the "s" (socialist) replaced by "e" (last in line)

Thank you, Elle! A splendidly contrived clue as is so often the case with this puzzle! I kept thinking of "HOOD", as in Robin!

Thanks Elle - I thought it must be HEAD but could not see how - I was thinking the back of `dash` is `h`
Good clue though - many thanks!
