Upsetting tales left out for politician in the House (4)
I believe the answer is:
seat
'politician in the house' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'upsetting tales left out' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'out' is a deletion indicator.
'tales' with 'l' removed is 'taes'.
'taes' written backwards gives 'SEAT'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seat that I've seen before include "Horizontal part of a chair" , "Sitting place" , "Settle in" , "Somewhere to sit" , "'A chair, say (4)'" .)
