Assert, declare (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

state

This clue is a double definition.

'assert' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'declare' is the second definition.
(I know that state is a type of advise)

(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Express; pomp" , "Claim" , "Public" , "Declare - political unit" , "Condition of country." .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
