Thanks, I was looking at 16dn for some reason, couldn’t spot anything!

In 17d: you’ve written TIMERITY instead of TEMERITY.
Just a typo.

Thanks Sil, I think I was getting confused with ne’er. I can’t see the type in 17d though.

Thanks PeeDee.
Tough crossword, but as always with Monk a very satisfying solve!

I needed the blog for the explanation of LEONARDO (2d). I think the NAR-bit comes from NAR[y] rather than from NAR[e].
And there is a little typo in the (bold) solution of 17d.

Thanks ernie, I had not seen that. I had one E too many in my solution.

Re 26A
You probably knew but you need to take off both the first and last letters of (W)atergat(e)*

I agree, the FT crosswords have been at a consistently high standard recently.
