Goodness close to Lenin's heart for left-winger (6)
I believe the answer is:
corbyn
'left-winger' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'goodness close to lenin's heart' is the wordplay.
'goodness' becomes 'cor' (both are exclamations of surprise).
'close to' becomes 'by' (close by).
'heart' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'lenin' is 'n'.
'cor'+'by'+'n'='CORBYN'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
