Could anyone help with 14d?

In complete denial when nitrogen added to his illicit rum - left to withdraw (10)

All I have is the first letter which I think is 'N'

Thanks in advance!!

Nihilistic

Brilliant, thank you!!

Help please - 27a Cloth stuck into tool - tender. (7)
????I?E

Looks like FRAGILE, rag inside file

Thank you! I'd been working on the wrong types of cloth and different tools.

To revisit 22d:
Can Labour finally overcome Left?
T?i?e?
As previously stated, looks like Toilet but only if Toilet is sometimes referred to as Can. Even so I still can’t understand the wordplay apart from toil = labour.
Can anyone help?

can - toilet
labour = toil
Final letters of overcome and left = e and t

Thanks jazz girl, you have a better insight than most on how Cyclops’ mind works. Though I have never before heard toilet referred to as ‘can’. Maybe I should get out more.

"Can" is one of the many slang terms for toilet,
often found in cryptic crosswords
