… getting flush with usual paper (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
evening standard
'paper' is the definition.
'getting flush with usual' is the wordplay.
'getting flush with' becomes 'evening' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'usual' becomes 'standard' (synonyms).
'evening'+'standard'='EVENING STANDARD'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
