'51: Attlee four times suffering rumours (6-6)
I believe the answer is:
tittle-tattle
'rumours' is the definition.
''51 attlee four times suffering' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'times' could be 'tt' (two abbreviations for time) and 'tt' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tittle-tattle that I've seen before include "Idle chat - gossip" , "Small talk" , "Idle chatter" , "Trivial gossip" .)
