Communique rejected within parliament (5)
I believe the answer is:
'communique' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'rejected within parliament' is the wordplay.
'rejected' is a reversal indicator.
'within' indicates a hidden word.
'liame' can be found hidden inside 'parliament'.
'liame' written backwards gives 'EMAIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for email that I've seen before include "Internet-borne communication" , "Message sent via computer" , "Electronic communication" , "Electronic message" , "Send one online" .)
