older

'we' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'it all the time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 'old' (old is a kind of time) and 'old' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for older that I've seen before include "Of greater age (O, not E)" , "Getting on" , "Less young" , "more history" , "Earlier" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
