Steps Down, resigns post? Step, stage, +S, effects ultimately/last letter and Down, not working...

Thanks Malone, I think you’re right, but that makes my 18a wrong, as I had an o for the third letter!

18a: Go easy on the killing, macho Putin-style (7)
I now have t-p-e-s

You have to think of Putin’s press pictures and being macho.

Thanks guys. Funnily enough Topless did come to mind much earlier on but I dismissed it as I couldn’t parse it.
All completed now.

Sorry, confused myself with my previous post.
4d Mock shag, sport? (4,3) ??K? F??

Mock = Make fun? Sport is fun, but how does shag mean make?

Make was a sixties/seventies euphemism for sex.
As in ‘make it with you’ - used in various pop songs etc..
