Start a movement that will make big news (5,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
cause a stir
'start a movement' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'will make big news' is the wordplay.
'will' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'make' becomes 'cause' (causing is a kind of making).
'big news' becomes 'astir' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cause' put next to 'astir' is 'CAUSE A STIR'.
'that' acts as a link.
