Politician working to back NHS jobs or shaping current cuts? (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
boris johnson
'politician' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'working to back nhs jobs or shaping current cuts?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'working' could be 'on' (on can mean working or activated) and 'on' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'nhs' is 'hns' which is located in the answer.
'or' is within the answer.
'current' could be 'i' (symbol for electric current) and 'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'jobs' is 'bsjo' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
