Grateful for the help, Roslyn251254 and Lie-in King! The last three :

19 Faint insult about "Vacuous Davey!" (5) : ??D?Y          ( GIDDY )
21 Conservative leader sheer crap, as seen on TV (6) : C?E?R?  ( CLEARS )
24 Sex cut short – contraceptive leak (5) : S?I?L    ( SPILL )

19 & 24 look ok

21 cheers - c + anagram of sheer

 

27 Sunak's top tip is to be cushioned by fortune having done this electorally (4) L?S?

I'm trying to convince myself it's not LOST (S-Lot, anag)

 

It is lost 

S(unak) inside lot (fortune)

 

Thanks both

 

Morning, Matakari - I hope you're looking in again, checking on yesterday's answers? I am sure you were delighted to see Fieldfare in today Spectator, I know you like his puzzles. And you will perhaps be at an advantage - the theme has been used, at least once, before. 

16a. Llama

Welcome to AnswerBank, Lemonjoe.

It always pays to scroll down the answers prior to answering an older post.

You'll see 'Llama' had already been given twice.

Happy crosswording. 😊
