Thanks ChrisE !

Too many Anericanisms in the London Times though . . . Schmo indeed !

Yes, and the "in" is wrong too!

Agree. Blatherskite was new to me also!
Could anyone parse 16a millennia is my answer.

Philosopher one girl entertains over the years (9)

I can see Mill but no girl except I Anne with one but the 'over' would invalidate the definition. I can see Mia but no philosopher. Any ideas?

Is the "over" a reversal indicator, with the definition just "the years"?

"Blatherskite" was in the Guardian a fortnight ago

20. Trump finally replaced by Biden, at first perhaps he talks tripe? (12)

SNOLLYGOSTER was another solution in that puzzle!

Thanks for reply.

That's what I meant about the over invalidating the def. I am on a phone so probably didn't explain very well.
I couldn't see 'the years' being defined as millennia?

Perhaps I am wrong, but it is very tenuous for me!

I like the guardian one better although the Times crossword team just tweeted 'THE GUARDIAN STOLE OUR CLUE!'.

Twitter does say this claim is disputed.

Charged for contract (5) T*N*E

The solution has to be TENSE but, if so, a very weak double definition clue in my opinion. The BRB doesn't give either.
