Complaint from old Tory PM clinging on to youth (6)
I believe the answer is:
malady
'complaint' is the definition.
(malady is a kind of health problem)
'old tory pm clinging on to youth' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'youth' could be 'lad' (lad means a young man) and 'lad' is present in the answer.
'pm' could be 'may' (former UK prime minister Theresa May) and 'may' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for malady that I've seen before include "Complaint" , "Disease or disorder" , "Sickness or disease" , "hay fever, perhaps" , "Afflication" .)
