Paper: Beginning to snog birds, liberal-minded types (8)
Where the WINGERS are “birds”, which I think is a fair bit easier than …
Online: They would get their kicks after beginning to snog liberal-minded types (8)
Where the WINGERS are footballers.

19A “Spicy singer” is Mel B – one of the Spice girls as well as Melba for “sweet” and “singer” again

3/14D The soldier is ANT around GERMAN AGE MEN “old foe” “time” “troops”

I’m glad you explained 8/22, 4D and 15A (HERE GOES, CARPETBAGGER and SHRUG) which I couldn’t deconstruct despite guessing the answers from the definition and crossing letters.

I had trouble with 12A INTERJECTOR where for a long time I thought the clergyman was RR.

I took “swingers” to mean those who get their kicks. The “s” from “(s)nog” and “wingers” (shortspeak for “left-wingers”) made up the cryptic part. It seems to work either way.
