I'm loth to start a "new thread", but.......

Today's Jumbo has thrown up a few to which the solutions have evaded me.

45D Object's round - try putting spin, perhaps, on it (7)
P?O?E?T (Possibly PROJECT but can't work out why, if true)
&
8A International group: evil or promoting happiness? (9)
??D???N?C

I'd be grateful for any assistance.

Thank you for this. I wouldn't have thought of EUDEMONIC in a month or two, though I suppose I ought to have done. Thinking about it, though, "Angelic" seems to fit the bill theologically.

What, then, pray is :
15A - Dressing in uniform, look around (5)
??U?E If SAUCE, why?

Gauze, dressing (for a wound). Gaze, look with U, uniform inside.

Thanks. Why didn't I think of GAUZE? Too obsessed with trying to fit MOSES (who wasn't a priest but you can't assume the setter is aware of the distinction) into 10D.

Thanks again to everyone who replied on this rather bleak "Harold Wilson Memorial Day"..

Bear..., glad we could help. I too initially thought of Sauce. It is a dressing, the U fitted Uniform, the C could possibly be around/circa and there was almost See, look. The A was troublesome, and made me think again!
