Very enjoyable with some lovely succinct surfaces - I particularly like the clever WP in 22d and the very amusing 21a!, all in all a fun puzzle. My other top picks - 9a, 12a, 20a, 25a, 10d, 4d and 16d, more in the reply...
Very nice and rather tricky! Especially liked 12,14a,15a (COTD), and 4d, 8d (very clever surface) and 22d (likewise). Happy new year, and thanks for hours of fun puzzling in 2025
