Trouble keeping English quiet in governmental sort-out (9)
I believe the answer is:
reshuffle
'governmental sort-out' is the definition.
'trouble keeping english quiet' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ruffle' (**).
'keeping' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'quiet' becomes 'sh'.
'e'+'sh'='esh'
'ruffle' going around 'esh' is 'RESHUFFLE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for reshuffle that I've seen before include "Change round of cabinet post holders" , "Change members of Government" , "PM's cabinet changes" , "Cabinet musical chairs" , "Recycle old cabinet" .)
