We also struggled parsing 21a - Stone me, once having settled in illegal state (11) and we also think it’s criminality?

Help also needed parsing 1d - follower of W Churchill’s not completely taken stock (6) which is cattle = stock? We’re clearly missing something! Help will be appreciated.
Enjoyed this one, though.

C ATTLEE was W CHURCHILL's follower as PM

The "CRIMINALITY " answer appears to be "alit" (settled), inside of "criminy", an obscure expression equating to "stone me".

Thank you, both! Should have got the Churchill one - but could never have worked out why criminality!

I am also struggling to understand some of this week’s answers, thanks for those two explanations.

Could anyone please help with the following:
3D Russian singer retaining trio and three duos from silent English performer
C?a?i?p?? Word wizard gave me CHALIAPIN which I looked up and is a Russian singer. But how does the rest of the clue work if it is right?

46d socialise with the exalted king out of Aga’s control?
HOBNOB but no idea why (apart from the definition)

46 Hobnob, socialist. Hob, Aga's control (Aga, cooker) and Nob, exalted king.

Sorry, Socialist should have been Socialise!

3 D. Chaliapin has Cha, trio (of letters) from Chaplin and Li, Ap and In, three duos (of letters)

Many thanks Malone. Would never have got to chaliapin myself.
One more if you’d be so kind:
56a Consumable product of melting numismatist’s prize
RAREBIT. Is this a reference to bitcoins? And why melting?

It's melted cheese on toast (actually it should be more complicated than that!)
A rare bit would be a prize for a numismatist- a coin collector
