After last month real reform for state (7)
I believe the answer is:
declare
'state' is the definition.
(declaring is a kind of stating)
'after last month real reform' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'last month' becomes 'dec' (short for December, last month of the year).
'reform' indicates an anagram (letters in a new form).
'real' with letters rearranged gives 'lare'.
'dec' next to 'lare' is 'DECLARE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for declare that I've seen before include "Profess" , "Assert" , "Make clearly known" , "Make a statement, to customs perhaps" , "Announce; end innings" .)
