Any help appreciated

24, F it ly.

19, pilc hard.

18, Whit by.

13, Fireproof.

Thank you all very much

Firestorm didn't help!

We're glad to help!

Can anyone help with the wordplay for these.....

23a Commonly. genuine regret distorts a person's proper allegiances (4,4,7) - ONES TRUE COLOURS (Person's proper allegiances)

I think 'Distorts' is COLOURS, but if 'Regret' is RUE then that leaves ONES T unparsed - and if it's 'Genuine' = TRUE then that leaves 'Commonly' and 'Regret' unparsed, so obviously I've gone wrong somewhere.

4d Common sense is all but pointless (4) - NOUS (Common sense)

Is it NO US(e) ?

13d Strong censure one received, like Abednego (9) - FIREPROOF (Like Abednego)

Brendan a Cockney may say 'onest for genuine.
Common meaning a Cockney speaker.
4D is correct. That's how I parsed it.
13, Abednego survived the flames therefore fireproof.

Sorry, I missed one.
F is strong.
Censure is reproof.
one is i, added to freproof, giving fireproof.
