Overall this was a tough one. Some clues had me stumped for ages — especially 19ac and 17dn.
I liked 15ac, 2dn, 14dn and 21dn. My favourite, of course, was 24ac.
By the way, typo alert for 23ac: “poverty-striken”.
Thanks for that Greg. I’ll fix it when I get time. It seems the master wordlist I use to spellcheck clues with has it spelt incorrectly.
