20d....Party admitting blunder after raising VAT

?A?R?L

[Calibax]

Barrel - err in Lab(our) REVERSED

[Mamyalynne]

Barrel - Lab + err all back

[roslyn251254]

barrel - lab = the party, err = blunder ... reversed

[Mamyalynne]

Lab = Labour Party

Thanks, but where is BARREL defined within the clue ?

Bearing in mind your advice Mamy regrading the first or last word, I can't see it meaning party or VAT

[Mamyalynne]

A barrel is a vat

[mikey4444]

yes...just seen that !

Thanks everybody !
