Artful, shrewd (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

politic

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'artful' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'shrewd' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for politic that I've seen before include "Prudent, discreet" , "Sensible, judicious" , "Diplomatic" , "artful" , "Shrewdly tactful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
