Intimating that one's influencing unfairly (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
getting at
'influencing unfairly' is the definition.
'getting at' can be an answer for 'influencing' (getting at is a kind of influencing). I am not certain of the 'unfairly' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for getting at that I've seen is " Bullying".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
