29a Think "home dominion" but other than demo no idea why;
34d concessions are lower rates and cons are argument against, but tax - no idea.

Thanks in advance - really frustrating.

MNM always posts like this. I suppose it makes things more challenging for solvers

34d Argument against tax is circulating about lower rates
concesssions
con = argument against
is circulating round on (about)
cess = tax
As it's xmas I gave the clues!

More challenging is one way of putting it - there are others.
