Fellows in some muddled advisory group disagreeing with the PM? (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
off-message
'disagreeing with the pm?' is the definition.
(term describing deviation from a political message)
'fellows in some muddled advisory group' is the wordplay.
'fellows' becomes 'ff'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'muddled' is an anagram indicator.
'advisory group' becomes 'sage' (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies).
'some' anagrammed gives 'omes'.
'ff' inserted into 'omes' is 'offmes'.
'offmes'+'sage'='OFF-MESSAGE'
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
