Frothy talk about a politician making umbrellas (5)
I believe the answer is:
gamps
'umbrellas' is the definition.
(gamp is a kind of umbrella)
'frothy talk about a politician' is the wordplay.
'frothy talk' becomes 'gas' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'frothy' bit.**).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a politician' becomes 'mp'.
'gas' placed around 'mp' is 'GAMPS'.
'making' is the link.
