Support strike at Wapping and have consequences to face? (2,3,2)
I believe the answer is:
be for it
'have consequences to face?' is the definition.
(to be for it or be in for it is to face punishment)
'support strike at wapping' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'support' could be 'befor' (to be for something is to support it) and 'befor' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'it' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' acts as a link.
