Stuck again.

1a. Republican gets outside division for tactical purposes (5) CO??S

19. Hurdle made from bundle containing sort of thorn (5) ?AYLE

33. What gets Disgusted going? Unsubstantial sort of food (5)
DAIRY fits but what is the parsing?

Thanks.

33 D = first letter of Disgusted, i.e. gets Disgusted going.
airy = unsubstantial.
DAIRY

19 Bayle

CORPS

[Captain2]

1 Corps

[bookbinder]

1a corps?

[hankir]

Thank you all.
For 19, Bayle is a hurdle. Bundle is bale. But Y means sort of thorn?

For 1a. Corps is a tactical division. But parsing not clear.

[ProfessorMaisie]

R(epublican) in COPS = 'gets'

[ProfessorMaisie]

The thorn is a linguistic digraph that looks like a curvy Y ('th' sound in old versions of 'ye' for 'the').

Thanks Professor.
