so it's tight for 25d, i'm guessing. a life-long tea totaller so i've never been or known what p/ssed is. so that leaves ?T?R?D. I'm guessing the clue is saved and the word is stored? i truly have no idea.

TORES (flailing, not one) +D gives STORED

Interesting that's not what I typed. I think my I in brackets got interpreted as 'go Italic' ! Ah - yes - I just looked at the instructions on the right here ==> ! :-)

However - I am stuck on last two:
9d: Rambling politician's turn to get sack? (7)
_ I _ _ _ A _
13a: A political con? (8) (no wordplay at all, just a cryptic pun)
_ _ T _ I _ E _
Any suggestions welcome!

9 Windbag, rambling politician. Wind, turn, bag, sack.

13 Detainee, a political con, prisoner.

THANKS to all!

Mealy mouthed

windbag - wind = turn bag = sack

Dallas, I think you might have missed the earlier answer....
