Would be grateful if you have any ideas on this. With thanks and more thanks!!!

how many letters and do you have any letters towards the answer please

Can you say how many letters are in the answer and if you know any of the letters?
(sometimes knowing where the clue is from helps too).

DT 26,157
It is nine letters and ends in i?t. Not doing very well am I?

9a. is nine letters and ends with i?t

labourist maybe
L(iberal)ABOUT with SIR backwards.
Don't get the whole of the wordplay.

I've got l_b_u_i_t

labourist sosund right anagram of l+about+sir=
a person who fights for workers rights

Labourist looks like a good bet(if you ignore the next election)
Maybe just an anagram of L(iberal)ABOUT and SIR(Gentleman).
poor clue tho - if I am right.

Hi Pat.
just saw this clue posted elsewhere and noticed that you had omitted the word Retiring

"Liberal about to include gentleman retiring as worker's champion." works because, gentleman retiring = sir backwards.

it was kinda key to the clue (an anagram looked unlikely)
