Delighted as Conservative showed anger (7)
I believe the answer is:
chuffed
'delighted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'conservative showed anger' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'c' (UK political abbreviation) and 'c' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'huffed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chuffed that I've seen before include "Happy" , "what bad wolf did?" , "Very glad" , "to have gone like a train?" , "Mallard may have done this" .)
