Refuse to give up way and go on hunger strike? (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand fast

'refuse to give up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'way and go on hunger strike?' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st'.
'go on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hunger strike?' becomes 'fast' (hunger strike is a kind of fast).
'st'+'and'+'fast'='STAND FAST'

(Another definition for stand fast that I've seen is " Refuse to give up".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
