I gather that fiery @21 is institution for asylum, IN having left- after con of course.

Aristo, Jono

Confirming the CO and I parsing of my @17.

I had a mind to add 'with fatal consequences' but refrained.

Hi aristo, sorry for any confusion, ignore my #22. While it was attempting to replace (de)stitution = poverty with (con) Conservative, replacement indicator: stricken, definition: manifesto using the A,B,C (C1,C2), D & E socio- economic group (class) system, I now see that Chambers (13th, the latest) only defines/lists E & C1/C2 as such specifically and the others as a relative ordering in s group.

Thanks, ginge. I thought that D and E had to be classes but couldn't find them. I figured they might be sociological designations but also wondered if they might be educational terms.

Hi Aristo
re 21 Correctly deduced asylum is indeed institution replacing in with tory (con)
re 23 is a ghost
Show - manifest
Nothing - o
It's the rules - def

Great clues! I'd love to list all the nice touches but I'm posting from a quirky old iPhone and have been having a lot of trouble with this site. I'm giving richardk @11 the edge over ginge @14 with:

Can this old vehicle rally America? It counts on it, weirdly (12)

The prize (take note, bigbad):

Thanks, Aristo, and congratulations, Richardk!

I wonder if your clue had Joe Biden in mind!?

Congrats richardk and thanks aristo.

I could add a 6th thing I didn't know about the USS Constitution - that it existed!
