"Old Conservative caught riding social worker," reveals insider (8)
I believe the answer is:
occupant
'insider' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'old conservative caught riding social worker' is the wordplay.
'old conservative' becomes 'oc' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'riding' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'social worker' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this in another clue).
'oc'+'c'+'up'+'ant'='OCCUPANT'
'reveals' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for occupant that I've seen before include "Insider" , "One in residence" , "Tenant - resident" , "Indweller" , "Homeowner or tenant" .)
