Totally stuck on several clues. Any help re parsing would be appreciated,
A) Temporarily settle typical teen's problem about politician(6) Is it encamp? Acne + mp
B) Con making half of vintage items disappear. (4)
C) Provided back room for business (4)
D)Male exposed leg showing coloured skin (6) M?U?O?
E) Storehouse of French corporation (5) ?E?O?. I can only think of depot as de means of in French but I can't parse the pot.

a. Yes, Encamp = temporarily settle, make camp etc.


c. Firm, if/provided, reversed, back and RM, room.

A - anagram of acne + MP
c- - Firm (if/provided reversed + rm for room)
E - pot and corporation are both slang terms for a large stomach

E - Yes, Depot, storehouse. De as you said and Pot, corporation, fat belly!

D looks like MOUTON
M OUT ON (legside in cricket)
but the definition is a bit of a stretch?

D I think this is Mouton, coloured skin, hide etc. M, male Out, exposed and On, showing.

mouton dyed sheepskin

ChrisE, my 'research' showed the definition as fine - coloured sheepskin.

B. ANTI(ques) , meaning con

Many thanks to you all,,,all done now, though I spent many hours pondering over the correct answers,
