I agree with all your solutions. However, the newspaper solution to 27ac is ELECTED rather than ERECTED.
When I solved the crossword, I did feel that ‘now in parliament’ seemed rather strong for a subsidiary indication.

Do you think the clue should have read ‘Left ousting Right’?

I often struggle with his clueing style,finding the ‘libertarians’ more in tune with my (somewhat twisted!)
mind.
This is no criticism of the Don,who’s puzzles are always fair to the solver.
2 down was a great clue,1 across I got straight away,I think I seem to remember encountering something very similar elsewhere.

I enjoyed this puzzle, my favourite clues being 1ac [as you say, not the first to be solved!] and 2dn.

I’m afraid the explanation of 17dn is rather more parochial: since 1970, the age of majority in the UK [apart from Scotland] is 18.
