The bankers were all nicely topical, but didn't seem to read that well for the most part. Those that were too long I also discounted fairly quickly. E.g. 10 was too complex, with both adding and removing the same letter being too much.
48 5 pts – Neat and excellent surface
17 4 pts – Best of the (fairly obvious) OLD LOYAL/ALLOY anagrams. "Dad" is a nice misprint
43 3 pts – Another neat clue and with good surface. "Can" for "loo" is nicely misleading
49 2 pts – Another good anagram and surface
5 1 pt – I had to give one of the "bankers" clue a point and this seemed the best of the bunch |

35 5 pts for its simplicity and reads OK both ways
49 4 pts for misprint being perfectly disguised
43 3 pts also not obvious misprint
34 2 pts nice compound
3 1 pt best of the 'bonkers' |
