Warning of request from the Tories? (6)
I believe the answer is:
beacon
'warning' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of request from the tories?' is the wordplay.
'of request' becomes 'bea' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'from' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the tories?' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for the Conservative Party).
'bea'+'con'='BEACON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "Raised signal fire or light" , "Prominent light on a hill" , "Signal fire - transmitter" , "Light on a height for navigation or warning" , "Warning light on hill or cliff" .)
