Why are short ones always the most difficult? My last one:

22D Maybe reading newspapers in which one finds fault (4)

_ I _ T

Possibly RIFT? The I and the FT are both newspapers I guess but R + reading??

Has anyone anything better?

the three R's…
Reading, writing and arithmetic

Of course!! Thank you Jono.

Glad to help, that’s caught me out before

Last one: 23dn Change one of Queen Victoria's letters in full (4) -E-R

Spell out the first letter of VR in full as vee (+r)

Thank you. Different wavelength!

21d Act of self-harm - and love - to raise tongue (5). The answer looks as if it must be lingo, but I can't parse this?

own goal - OG + love, NIL, reversed

Thanks, Buddy.
