I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'miss flogging daily?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'left wingers somehow' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'l'+'wingers'='lwingers'
'lwingers' is an anagram of 'NEWSGIRL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
