Money racket lands leader of opposition in jug (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
gravy boat
'opposition in jug' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'money racket lands leader of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'racket' could be 'bat' (bat is a kind of racket) and 'bat' is found within the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'gravy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gravy boat that I've seen before include "Piece of china" , "Vessel in service" , "Vessel for serving meat sauce" .)
