Labour MP is a fighter (4)
I believe the answer is:
benn
'labour mp' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'is a fighter' is the wordplay.
'is' becomes 'be'.
'a fighter' becomes 'nn' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'be'+'nn'='BENN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for benn that I've seen is " Tony -, Br. politician".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
