The first request: a big shaft, uh, one that’s often hard (10)

A tweak, as is my wont

Lord being the focus of Epstein question bothered Starmer no end (10)

T ASK (STARME)*

Surprisingly, ska matters to stern répétiteur (10)

A répétiteur (teuse) is generally employed in opera or ballet.

Inquisitor brutally tests karma (10)

Spooner's command could affect Jim Carrey'sauce (10)

Finally found the verb I was looking for

Lord being the focus of Epstein question discomfited Starmer no end (10)

A lot of good anagrams this week including amej@4 Manager Mark tastes cocktail and Raffles@21 Manager ordered Saturday markets cut short.

My top three clues were separated by a hair’s breadth.

In third place, Paul@25 with Mask slips during trial lesson - teacher is an authoritarian.

In second place, the very clever and topical clue from Geting@29/32/36 with Lord being the focus of Epstein question bothered Starmer no end.

My winner this week, who was quick off the mark with his entry, was jono@3 with:

Cook makes tarts for the head chef?

I thought it worked well with or without a question mark. Nevertheless, it was smooth, simple, effective and conjured up quite the image!

Well done Jono. Here are your prizes.
