I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with suggestion one politician not telling the truth?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one politician not telling the truth?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'not telling the truth?' becomes 'lying' (I've seen this before).
'i'+'mp'+'lying'='IMPLYING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for implying that I've seen before include "making insinuations" , "Insinuating; signifying" , "Indicating by suggestion" , "Meaning" , "Suggesting" .)
