King opening up sees PM (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sunak

'pm' is the definition.
(UK prime minister Rishi Sunak)

'king opening up' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'K' (chess abbreviation).
'opening' becomes 'anus' (anus is a kind of opening).
'up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'k'+'anus'='kanus'
'kanus' in reverse letter order is 'SUNAK'.

'sees' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
