I’m stuck on a couple to complete the grid - 11a and 28d. Also, I can’t work out the parsing of 21d. Any nudges would be appreciated.

“Europe” in a sorry state deducted from g-p supple-ly. You’ll have a letter too many…

21 The second part of the answer equates to the first word in the clue, the first part of the answer equates to the second word in the clue.

Thank you Malone. I’d confused myself by splitting the answer to 21d into two different words. That term for autocrat was new to me.

I have complete grid plus message plus properties (almost), but am still struggling how to parse 6d and 7d. Definitions obvious, so clues must alter. But how?

7d is a reversed seven letter word for stalkless (minus its last letter)
6d is beyond me

6d ..or maybe the G (good) replaces the D (pence/denarius) in a word for later

I have almost filled the grid: only 18 down and 28 down still to be solved. Any hints gratefully welcomed.
