am struggling to finish : 21 ac positive thing for a heavyweight 6 ?R???? 26ac whistler left behind his country? 7 R?f???? 11d tory leader going after a drink not entirely of equal measures 7 ??I?u?? 12d big ties vital - should it be pinned? 4-5 ??e?f????
26a. Is that the complete clue? It looks as if it should be 'refusal'......ref = whistler.....Whistler was an american artist, so USA is his country + L(eft), but there should be a definition of refusal in the clue somewhere.
