Islands divided between at least two nation states. Indonesia has a bunch of these parts!

10 Emily Maitlis; Wallis Simpson; Eleanor Roosevelt; Margaret Thatcher?
All played by Gillian Anderson. Well Emily Markus and Margaret Thatcher were
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; Mr Lazy; The Box of Delights?
Weren’t they all dreams?
15 Glasgow; Bethnal Green; Bradford; Rochdale?
He’s currently they MP for Rochdale and was the MP for a bit of Bradford. He’s also been an MP somewhere in Glasgow.
This is a bit of a naughty question and it should state the constituencies. It’s a bit like saying “London” when there are 28 billion constituencies there.

14 Chungkingosaurus; Gobisaurus; Sinraptor; Yuanmousaurus? Dinosaurs named after places in China as they were dicovered there.
A little bit more on the islands with borders question. Borneo is shared by Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Hispaniola by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Ireland by the Republic of Ireland and the UK. New Guinea by Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Saint Martin, or Sint Maarten in Dutch, by France and the Netherlands (in the Caribbean). And Timor by Indonesia (again!) and Timor-Leste.

Like the late Chaircat Midge, I am not always right.

12. These are major US sporting trophies - The Earl of Derby was a Stanley and the Stanley Cup is the most important ice hockey trophy; the Vince Lombardi trophy goes to the Superbowl champions in American football; Larry O'Brien was commissioner of the NBA in the 80s so I'd guess the major basketball cup is named after him. I don't know Mr. Anschutz.
