Is queen in parliament showing anxiety? (8)
I believe the answer is:
disquiet
'anxiety?' is the definition.
(disquiet is a kind of anxiety)
'is queen in parliament' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'qu'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'parliament' becomes 'diet' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'qu'='isqu'
'isqu' put into 'diet' is 'DISQUIET'.
'showing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for disquiet that I've seen before include "Restlessness" , "Feeling of unease" , "Mild anxiety" , "concern" , "Fear" .)
