Time for an old political journalist (3)
I believe the answer is:
day
'time' is the definition.
(I know that day is a type of time)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for day that I've seen before include "Unit of time" , "Particular date" , "24 23 acrosses" , "24 hours" , "Born yesterday" .)
