Bump!

This is extremely hard, Bharat. “Britain, for one” is the definition. Then backing, in favour of (3) + a (3) + an 8 letter verb for to state losing “a name” from the start and “these days” at the end

Thanks Quisling for your nice parsing. Could get the word. It looks very simple once you parsed it neatly.

I welcome some hints for this one (which I feel like I should have been able to solve):

Caught pan losing beginning and end (9)

I'm thinking perhaps "C" plus a word for "pan" minus the first letter. Definition would be "end". Is that the right track?

That is exactly the right track. Pan as a verb

Thanks for the validation! I was able to get it (the nonsensical surface reading notwithstanding).

Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
"Leader's love to cut food (6)"

Bump!

What could be the definition? Leader or food or cut food?. Please help me in parsing the clue. "Leader's love to cut food (6)"

can it be pastor? pastry is food. cut food is PASTR, love O inside . It gives PASTOR who is a leader. Is this acceptable?
