at times

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

'occasionally' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'british daily follows a tempting lead' is the wordplay.
'british daily' becomes 'times' (daily UK newspaper. I am not sure about the 'british' bit.).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lead' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'tempting' is 't'.
'a'+'t'='at'
'times' put after 'at' is 'AT TIMES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for at times that I've seen before include "employed by paper?" , "Where our editor is" , "Where some journalists work" , "on some occasions" , "Occasionally" .)
