Axe chapter on Brexit supporter (7)
I believe the answer is:
cleaver
'axe' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'chapter on brexit supporter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'chapter' could be 'c' (abbreviation) and 'c' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'leaver' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleaver that I've seen before include "A butcher's chopping tool" , "dangerous object?" , "Meat axe" , "A butcher may use it" , "Hatchet for chopping meat" .)
