Can I jump onto this thread to ask a question on the same puzzle?
I'm struggling with the SW corner. It might help if I knew I had the right answer to 15d.
15d. Suggest I decree latest number, we hear. (9) The wordplay leads to an extra i that is not entered. I have I?SIN???E. I thought INSINUATE, but can't parse it, and it leads to an impossible looking crossing answer.

[Neveracrossword]

Insinuate would have - I Nisi (decree, in a divorce) Nu/New Ate/Eight, with the first I in 'nisi' being the additional letter.

Thanks, neveracrossword
