Some of these may have been answered before, it's a long thread.

Thanks Malone.

Arguably one of the worst, least enjoyable Eye Xwords I’ve ever done. Obscure parsing and tenuous references abound. Anyway with the help of regular contributors here I muddled through but before I submit my completed grid I have to seek help with parsing 10d ‘our ex PM right off the French - scrap’

I can only imagine ‘ tussle’ ( scrap as in a fight) and ‘the French’ = le ( the last two letters) but where on earth does ‘tuss’ relate to to our ex PM? I’m completely baffled! Any help greatly appreciated 😊

Liz T(r)USS minus the R/'right off'

I know, she served for such a short period it's easy to forget her.

Walrusboy, 'Our ex PM' is TRUSS, minus the R (right off)

Thanks Matron and Brendan ! Damned tough that one - I don’t believe Cyclops set that - just do have the usual ‘flair’ 👍

Damn autocorrect- Mattrom ( sorry) and meant to say this puzzle didn’t have Cyclops’ usual flair!

Hints, fine, but there are quite a few posts here with solutions, before the competition closing date. Not sure that's in the spirit of a help forum.

PaulT, maybe you should have a look at the Site Administrator's Posting Guidelines,you may find those quite useful. Norah, the site administrator, updates them from time to time. I've 'Bumped' them this evening as I think this may be the latest version.
