16 across One needs Sunak to break cover and do a u-turn-thats clear (6) I have ?i?c??. Help please

Limpid, clear.

Your C is wrong, PM reversed inside lid (cover) with an extra i (one).

Ah great ,thanks I hope 6D - financial- is the correct answer

Glad we could help, Alvin.

Yes, Financial is correct - but giving the clue would have been a help to those without the puzzle.

Yes. In (elected) ANC (political party) with a jumble of fail around them.

OK fair enough

Sorry, malone. I’m making a habit of crossing with your posts this afternoon. I’ll desist!

Jack, thanks, but it's fine - two replies are better than none. And you supplied the Limpid parsing, I was too lazy/busy.

I'd say it's a very tenuous clue, though you're certainly right. It was the only one that stumped me! 'Occasion' as a verb I thought about, but it really doesn't mean 'entail'. Occasion as a verb means 'happens' or 'come across' incidentally, but entail means 'involves' or 'implies'. I think old Cyc has been hitting the vino more these days.
