SNP leader in a stew — trouble brewing here? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hotspot
'brewing here?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'snp leader in a stew trouble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'trouble' could be 'spot' (spot is a kind of trouble) and 'spot' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hotspot that I've seen before include "busy area" , "Nightclub" .)
