Political critic given two British honours by broadcaster (7)
I believe the answer is:
chomsky
'political critic' is the definition.
(Noam Chomsky)
'two british honours by broadcaster' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'broadcaster' could be 'sky' (Sky is a broadcast TV channel) and 'sky' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'given' acts as a link.
(Another definition for chomsky that I've seen is " US linguist; my shock (anag.)".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
