Socialist accepts a politician giving better access? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ramped
'giving better access?' is the definition.
(wheelchair access)
'socialist accepts a politician' is the wordplay.
'socialist' becomes 'red' (socialism is often associated with the colour red).
'accepts' is an insertion indicator.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'a'+'mp'='amp'
'red' placed around 'amp' is 'RAMPED'.
(Another definition for ramped that I've seen is " Built with a slope".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
