mantra

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

'repeated slogan' is the definition.
'mantra' can be an answer for 'slogan'. I am not certain of the 'repeated' bit.

'one in labour facility sent up' is the wordplay.
'one in labour' becomes 'man' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'facility' becomes 'art' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sent up' is a reversal indicator.
'art' reversed gives 'tra'.
'man'+'tra'='MANTRA'

Can you help me to learn more?
