Ex-PM who will be given a hand at the table (5)
I believe the answer is:
north
I believe this is a double definition.
'ex-pm' is the first definition.
(Lord North, 18th-century prime minister)
'who will be given a hand at the table' is the second definition.
(one of the four players in the card game bridge)
(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "Lord -, PM; bearing" , "who is opposed to East-West partnership?" , "Boreal; South's opposite" , "Compass point at 0 or 360 degrees" , "A 24 [STAR]" .)
