Struggling with the last three today:
5ac Leave without a second course (7)
I have ?E?S???
8dn Powerful agency about to take on performer (7)
??A?T?R
22dn Brand that is going out (6)
?O?T?E
Any hints, please?
P.S. I dislike clues such as 10ac Obscenity that turns stomachs (4) - easy enough to solve, but 50:50 which way to write it until crossers have been solved.
