Can I just check a couple please ?

22a....Fading threat runs out....WANING ?

22d....Ne'er-do-well was the end ? Not entirely.....WASTER ?...not sure about the parsing here.

[fiction-factory]

Yes to 22a WARNING minus the R

[gangesboy]

22 warning minus R (runs)

[fiction-factory]

was + ter(minus)? perhaps

[mac44]

or was ter(m)

[mikey4444]

I think its WASTER...thanks everybody !

[mikey4444]

Last one !

25a....Upset aficionado turned tail, initially......?E?O?T

REVOLT ?.....again, not too sure about the parsing here.

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, Lover, aficionado and T(Tail, initial). Turned = reverse Lover, so Revol +T.

[mac44]

yes, lover reversed + t(ail)

[mikey4444]

Once again, thanks.
