Two short solutions that annoyingly I can't work out.

1d Tabloid newspaper is carrying leader on Rupert Murdoch ?R?S. The Star is a tabloid and an anagram would be ARTS but why Rupert Murdoch?

28d Head from German city going north, not east N?S? Sort of think Essen must be in there somewhere.

Finally 15a is Great Grandma undergoes gradual change OSM?S?S is either Osmosis or Osmoses but cannnot parse.

I'm not very happy about "OSMOSES" as the answer for 15a.

Yes I get OS as being outsize/great. I also get MOSES as being a (great) grandma. But if "gradual change" (in the singular) is the definition, then MOSES would need to be (unjustifiably) changed to MOSIS. I know I'm being pedantic, but these things are important. I have put OSMOSES as my answer, because I believe that is what the answer will turn out to be, but it's sloppy and I don't like it.
