25 across Graduate dared to be screwy as Corbyn(7) _E_R_E_

Bearded?

[Aliski]

Yes I see it's an anagram of dared & be - thanks.

[fiction-factory]

It will be bearded but I'm wondering where the graduate fits in (I'd assumed it was BA or BEd but neither completes the anagram with DARED

[gangesboy]

BE is Bachelor of Engineering

[fiction-factory]

I thought of that but it's always been B Eng or M Eng as far as I know

FF. BE (bachelor of Engineering) + anagram of dared.

Thanks danny. I knew the anagram of dared but have only ever seen this degree as B.Eng and when I googled Bachelor of Engineering I got this page showing BEng only
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Engineering
I've never met any engineers with a BE but clearly it is used. Thanks

Also in Chambers

Anyway it's BE + anagram of 'dared' rather than anagram of 'dared' and 'be' from the clue

[gangesboy]

to BE or not to BE

[dannyk13]

[scorpiojo]

[bibblebub]

half a bee, philosophically
must, ipso facto, half not be

"Look up " always sounds rude, danny.
I've course I've seen it. Look up to my post at 9:50. I was just pointing outat 10:08 that it wasn't quite the solution given at 21:10 last night

[dannyk13]

No rudeness intended FF

[scorpiojo]

Doesn't sound rude to me.

[fiction-factory]

I'm sure it wasn't intended. It does sound to me like "can't you read", but sorry if others don't think it sounds rude. But anyway I clearly had looked up and read the earlier answer so I feel it was unnecessary.
