Model Sierra, almost market leader in UK soon? (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
keir starmer
'leader in uk soon?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'model sierra almost market' is the wordplay.
'model' is an anagram indicator (the solver must model the letters into a new form).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'sierra' with its final letter taken away is 'sierr'.
'sierr'+'market'='sierrmarket'
'sierrmarket' anagrammed gives 'KEIR STARMER'.
