Drive to support a noted Labour leader (6)
I believe the answer is:
propel
'drive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'support a noted labour leader' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'support' could be 'prop' (prop up can mean to support) and 'prop' is found in the answer.
'labour' could be 'l' (political abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for propel that I've seen before include "Give impetus to" , "Cause to move forward with force" , "Drive or push forward as with oars" , "Push forwards" , "Derive of push forward" .)
