Can tavern device be getting pure sort of elected member? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
beer-pump
'can tavern device' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'be getting pure sort of elected member?' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'elected member?' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'pure' anagrammed gives 'erpu'.
'be'+'erpu'+'mp'='BEER-PUMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
