I have some crossing letters but they don't really help as some letters are missed out/changed before entry...
8d Discreet and extremely liable to shuffle away from the capital (13)
36a lamb product, perhaps? Yes, a singular stew (5)

34a Various unionist English strike in the wrong way (6) crossing letters suggest "miscue" but can't really parse it ??

Misc is an acceptable abbreviation of miscellaneous/various.
Miscue looks fine.

Got it now misc - miscellaneous /various

thanks rusty - posts crossed

8d is an anagram

Thanks Annie44 - of course! Actually tried those letters but thought I was looking for an actual capital city!

Lamb is not the animal. Just done it myself!

36a is an anagram also

Thanks both - got it now!

17a Just over half of critically important European city (5) ........... the 5 letter answer reduces to SE? in the grid after "literal spelling"

33d Born with innocent uninitiated character (6) .... 6 letter answer reduces to ?HU?T in grid (tho I may be wrong here!)

7d Noises a hunter might make, with which Tom could show something wild (6) ......... in grid as N?S
