Current position is broadcast, after employees took over by force internally (5,2,7)
I believe the answer is:
state of affairs
'current position' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'broadcast after employees took over by force internally' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'broadcast' could be 'air' (to air on TV) and 'air' is present in the answer.
'took' could be 'ate' (eating is a kind of taking) and 'ate' is found in the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'force' could be 'f' (abbreviation in physics e.g. f=ma) and 'f' is present in the answer.
'employees' could be 'staffs' (I've seen this before) and 'staffs' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for state of affairs that I've seen before include "Situation" , "land noted for illicit relationships" .)
