The Week 671 23A and 21A

21A Look! Dead heats on turning over in snap. (4,2) L_S_ I_.
I think the answer is LOSE IT but I don't understand the "in snap".

23 A [This clue leads to a UK town which is not pronounced the way it is spelt.]

The clue is: Sun dismissed lies from politicians (6) _O_I_S

Many thanks for help.

Look = Lo
Dead heats = TIES turned over = SEIT

If you 'lose it' (lose control) you 'snap'

How can we make a UK place name out of that? Perhaps this clue should not be in italics?

Many thanks to you all. I think Aquagility could be correct in his explanation of why Roselyn is correct. If anyone can find a UK town in the original clue, please let me know.
