Bid slacker to work -- one perhaps reluctant to do so? (10)
I believe the answer is:
backslider
'one perhaps reluctant to do so?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'bid slacker to work' is the wordplay.
'to work' is an anagram indicator.
'bid'+'slacker'='bidslacker'
'bidslacker' is an anagram of 'BACKSLIDER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
