There are 3 clues where I seem to have the answer but cannot reconcile the parsing :-

 

1) Give queen chops after having taken large bite (8)             P?Q?A?C?.  It has to be PIQUANCY (bite) but, apart from Q (or Qu) for "queen", I'm stuck.

 

Male with heartless jokes interrupts offensive weathy hedonists (3,3,3)  T?E  ?E?  S?T.  It has to be THE JET SET (wealthy hedonists), and I get ?HE (male) JET S (heartless jokes ie jests), but how is T  ET "offensive"?

 

Type of stance Blair first described as bad, later better (3,6)     T?O  ?E?G?D.  It looks like TWO LEGGED, but why?
