English government invades space station, worried to move abroad (8)
I believe the answer is:
emigrate
'move abroad' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english government invades space station worried' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'government' becomes 'g' (abbreviation for government).
'invades' indicates putting letters inside.
'space station' becomes 'Mir' (I've seen this in another clue).
'worried' becomes 'ate' (something worrying may eat someone up).
'g' inserted within 'mir' is 'migr'.
'e'+'migr'+'ate'='EMIGRATE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for emigrate that I've seen before include "Move overseas" , "Leave the country to settle abroad" , "Permanently leave" , "leave for ever" , "Leave one's country to live elsewhere" .)
