I have "Trump Arse" in the completed grid !

Rad, 18a is a well known Austrian painter.
43a is a type of fruit backwards inside a type of bread.

Can anyone give a hint for 21a please?

Cloverjo - 21a is an anagram of dealing minus the I (India) for a Welsh woman's name.

Thanks, smartie.

Cloverjo - thanks, but I didn’t ask for anything! And in fact I think the parsing of 43a is “fruit in bread” rolls over, though since the bread is palindromic it doesn’t really make any difference.

Sorry, rad. My post was meant for someone else, but for some reason I put your name in front.

What a great puzzle. Must have been tough to compile.

I really enjoyed this puzzle, but I have one query. I have a 6 word message, not a 5 word message revealed by the code. The message I have consists of 41 letters and the penultimate word I have is "as". Is this correct ?
I would be very grateful if anyone can help. And Happy New Year to Everyone !

Samovar - there are 5 words in the hidden message, the last word being a Greek name of nine letters ending in US.

Thank you very much, Smartie. I have the Greek name of 9 letters, and I have a Greek name of 11 letters as the first word, followed by a 6 letter word, followed by a 7 letter word followed by a 6 letter word etc.
Maybe I should check again tomorrow, as it's rather late now !
Thanks again.

Samovar - I think you're there... you're just putting your spaces in the wrong places! The word lengths are 11, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Look again at your second 6 letter word and see if you can make it into an 8 letter word...
