Thanks lik that means 8dn is possibly noes.Could anyone assist with parsing?

boxtops

Ayes and Noes are vote/referendum answers, but I can't give any more explanation

Well done kettledrum,that leaves me puzzling over the parsing of 26ac.

clue: Men in organised labour authority reversed drastic pruning (5,3)

?A?O? CUT

tommy-h

Question Author

sorry razor cut is what I put.

kettledrum

I understand part of it. OR (other ranks) = men, & TUC = labour authority , but organised looks as if it should be 'ran'. Is this a straightforward puzzle, or are there deliberate misprints or some other devilry?

Lie-in King

I had to leave the screen earlier - nice answer for 8d, k'drum :-)

Razor cut - 'OR' (Other Ranks, in) 'TU' (Trade Union; organised labour) + 'czar' (authority) (both reversed)
