Last, nevertheless (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
after all
This clue is a double definition.
'last' is the first definition.
(coming after everyone else)
'nevertheless' is the second definition.
(after all can mean nevertheless)
(Other definitions for after all that I've seen before include "anyway" , "Despite expectations to the contrary" , "When everything is said and done" , "In spite of any indications to the contrary" , "Where most dictionary entries are" .)
