Last one ..Distressed republican shed clothes. I have h?r?
Think it might be hurt but can't parse.

[Neveracrossword]

Hurt = distressed. Shed = Hut, put R for Republican inside.

[Mamyalynne]

Hut (shed) is clothing R (Republican)

[Neveracrossword]

...and 'clothes' means the shed/hut contains the R, republican.

Doh! Many thanks Neveracrossword and Mamyalynne. I was shedding the first and last letters of a word that doesn't exist!

[Mamyalynne]

The craft of a good clue to throw you.

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help, crosseyed.

[crosseyed]

And thrown I was...

[Neveracrossword]

Crosseyed, I like it when a setter sends me off in the wrong direction - but only once I've solved the clue and realised where I was going!

[crosseyed]

Me too, but I often run out of steam when I come to the last clue.

Here's a similar one I like from a recent Times Jumbo:
'Female apparel in dainty boxes' (5)

[Sam1960]

she's in there gg ;)

Linda, in the clue

[crosseyed]

Has to be Linda then....hiding in plain sight.

[goodgoalie]

And another recent favourite, from the Telegraph, I think:
'One espousing leather trousers' (6)

[Mamyalynne]

Single, hidden

And a long time ago I was totally thrown by this one - but still remember it, because it was a great clue.
Potty train (4)

[Mamyalynne]

Loco
