Checking, having change of heart and banning (7)
I believe the answer is:
vetoing
'banning' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
(Another definition for vetoing that I've seen is " Rejecting a proposal made by a lawmaking body".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
