Have got everything except parsing of 24A, which I assume describes the phrase to be entered....

I have the 10 lines and what they represent. I also have the 2 phrases, the 7,8 one being the one below the grid (I think), but I cannot verify from whence it came - can someone please give me a nudge so as to reduce my time on google.

They’re cryptically equivalent...

HW7, I understand that, but the preamble states that the lines depict what could cover either phrase. How this references the phrase not entered below the grid is quite obvious, but as for the 2nd phrase...……….

Think about the possible meanings of the word "cover" Gitto.

OK, I'll stop being thick - the second phrase is a cryptic indication to the 1st phrase.

I'm still struggling with 4d, please

Anagram. Def is last word. Contains 3 clashes.

I struggled with this one too Dylan. The misprint is in the last word. I managed to back solve it from Bradford’s by finding 12 letter options. Thankfully one such word matched some of the letters within the gobbledygook!

Would be very grateful for hint on parsing of 24A, anyone?
