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

'judy to say?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'is it not' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is present in the answer.
'not' could be 'un' (prefix meaning 'not') and 'un' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
