Last 3 clues leave us puzzled!
20d. Single-issue college speakers get up briefly (9). U?I?A?O??
Uniparous, but why?
26d. State funds partner no longer one with place on the board (9). I?C?E???R. Only word that fits is ‘Increaser’?.
40ac. Take The Sun for understanding article on woman (6). B?S???
Strange words, many of the clues though! Why, for example, is 24d (Callixenus comprehends his limits age wise) Quinquagenarian?
Many thanks.

26 Exchequer, state funds. Ex, partner no longer + Chequer, one on board.

20d, College is "uni"
Public address system (speakers) is "PA"
Get up briefly is "rous"(e).

40 Basque, article on woman - it sounds like Bask, take the sun.

I answered this on another thread, comprehends is a containment indicator.
Ca)llix(enus; L + LiX, 50 & 59 the limits of the answer.

Thank you. It all started with an incorrect 25ac!
Now it all makes sense.

Thank you.Will look at the other thread. We don’t usually use the Forum unless we are really stuck, so hadn’t been there earlier.

Hi doradoodle, I didn't mean to infer I was directing you to another thread I was merely attempting (poorly expressed now I've reread my comment) to say that is what I answered there as it seemed to be proving a difficult answer to parse.
