25a "Moans in defeat, getting new leader" (7)

E?M?E?S Assuming these letters are correct, the only word Quick Solve gives is EUMAEUS a name from Greek mythology who doesn't appear to be a leader.

Any help much appreciated

Hammers becomes "yammers" ?

Thanks rusty; I had REPUTABLE instead of REPUTABLY for 1d so no wonder I couldn't make it work.

Let's hope it is correct, Gooner!

Rusty, I had the same answer.



...and Bump while I'm here.

Ah, well, it looks good then, Malone!

Can anyone help withe parsing for these......

14a Argument from this person about to be brought into line shortly (7) - POLEMIC (Argument)

42d Country's number one after revolution in old 41 (8) - NATIONAL

The answer to 41a is PROVINCE

51d Man upset by those wanting home rule (4) - STAN

Ok, I think I've figured out 14a - ME (Reversed) in POLIC(e) brought into line shortly?

14, Line is "polic(y)", shortly.
This person is "me", about is "em".
Polemic.

You read my mind, Rusty - i was just about to question the use of the past tense (brought into line) for POLIC.
