Hi lumen

I think your 'u' might need to be a 'y'

I have a 4 letter word for 'to unite with', ending in y , followed by L for Liberal, definition is radical

Hope this helps!

I'm finding this cirner very tricky!

Lumen, there is an extra letter in the first word of 35d. It’s tricky. One of the Heavenly Twins loses a logic circuit, or gate, from its end

All finished now - quite an amusing challenge! Some rather tricky clues, as expected.

Thanks both.
Virtually full grid now.
But many I have the entries for I can't parse, so I am a way off the thematic stuff still.

Got theme etc. All done now except first cell of 14a. I believe two letters are removed from final word but still can't see it.

Aye lumen, 2 letters removed, leaving a 4 letter word beginning with T, which can then be abbreviated by T.

The 2 removed letters then give you the beginning of the first thematic word, 6 letters long.

Hope this helps!

The T is preceded by a three letter word, quite common, which means 'according to'. The resulting entry is an old/rather obscure word which meant objectionable, I think LOL!
