Cut off recent tip for a change (9)
I believe the answer is:
intercept
'cut off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recent tip for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'recent'+'tip'='recenttip'
'recenttip' anagrammed gives 'INTERCEPT'.
(Other definitions for intercept that I've seen before include "Arrest" , "cut off" , "Obstruct to prevent reaching a destination" , "Stop in transit" , "Seize in transit" .)
