Opposing suggestion with token gesture (13)
I believe the answer is:
countermotion
'opposing suggestion' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'with token gesture' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'token' becomes 'counter' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gesture' becomes 'motion' (synonyms).
'counter'+'motion' is 'COUNTERMOTION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
