Comments on the clue
1.Too long
2.Where are we told to put the S in POT?
3.I get "volunteers about leak" for deletion of AT, but the rest is beyond me, and the Sun seems superfluous. I'd ditch the caps.
4.Thought the surface a very unlikely headline for the Sun (for one thing too long). Not convinced about the wordplay either.
