Tie-wearing British like us, with The Times (10)
I believe the answer is:
stablemate
'us with the times' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'tie-wearing british' is the wordplay.
'tie' becomes 'stalemate' (tie in chess).
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'stalemate' enclosing 'b' is 'STABLEMATE'.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stablemate that I've seen before include "One from the same organisation as another" , "companion" , "Nag" , "Blames Tate (anag) - person from the same club" , "One from the same organisation or background" .)
