Last two to get:

17d Hit with Trump's openers, revolt on the outside S-r-c-n-
All I can come up with is Saracens!

22d A short time back S-c-e-
A short time would be "sec" so "secret" fits but can't see it!

[cashier]

22 Second

[Lie-in King]

17d Stricken - 'sicken' (revolt, outside) 'Tr(ump)' (openers) (?)

22d Second - double meaning (?)

[Chaseman]

Thanks both. This means my answer to 27 ac must be wrong, clue is "coward wrecking career with conservative body". I had this as "recanter" (anag of career plus NT for National Trust). So it must now be R-c-e-n-

[Neveracrossword]

Recreant, still an anagram

Thanks, just got it via One Look.
