Suspects snorted then got high (4-2)

Finally Britain and EU stop border row (4-2)

(Just being silly....)

The Beatles, leaving door ajar, initially having no eggnog, dancing the conga? (4-2)

Hi folks, time's up and there are a very respectful 32 clues from 23 setters.
I have to admit to never having been into the Beatles or their "stuff' so I'm not seeing how they contribute to the wordplay in skyewalker's 34 (obviously I can see elements but not a complete parse) so if anyone would oblige I'd be grateful.
I'll give some time for a reply and as I have to go out shortly I'll look back in about 8pm and provide the result shortly after.

I told you I was being silly. Subtractive anagram.

Fodder - ("The Beatles") JOHNPAULGEORGEANDRINGO

minus "door ajar" and "h(aving) n(o) eggnog"

anagrind - "dancing"

Definition - "the conga"

Thanks skyewalker, a ghost subtractive; 10/10 for inventiveness. I'm not sure "silly" is the word I'd have chosen but I reckon most, if not all, future hosts hope you don't become a trendsetter !
Thanks for all your entries and as usual this had not been easy and it's not possible to comment on all clues so please don't take umbrage if I have failed to specifically mention clue(s).
Touches I like include Paul's fringe, skyewalker's mobile data, mattrom's bottom (ooh er Mrs), fiery's: Neu! & PiL double bill, sunray's torch, tyke51's repartitioned Berlin, malcolmxword's player's debut & BBM2's Orient accumulator.

Just missing out from my final shortlist are mattrom @3, skyewalker @ 7, both brexits from peterm & mattrom and the seemingly innocuous but deceptive malcolmxword @ 30.
I have two slightly ahead of the field but I feel formation spoils the surface and could be deemed superfluous in kt17 @ 14 otherwise this might have got the nod; so after a lot of deliberation I'm going with BBM2 @ 20

Acts likely to cause disruption to the railway

Cheers.

Well done BBM2 - thanks Ginge!

Oops, 12 not 23 setters.

Nice one, Marty! Cheers, Ginge, and thanks for the mentions.

(Regarding my last, I agree that "silly" may not be the most appropriate expression. "Absolutely ridiculous" is probably closer. It wasn't really meant as a serious entry).
