The European fellows gossip in the City about former PM (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
clement attlee
'the european fellows gossip' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'city about former pm' is the wordplay.
'city about' becomes 'clement' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'former pm' becomes 'attlee' (Clement Attlee).
'clement'+'attlee'='CLEMENT ATTLEE'
'in the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clement attlee that I've seen before include "Prime minister, 1945-51" , "postwar leader" , "Labour statesman" , "British PM, 1945-51" .)
