High Powered?

I knew it was something powered.

That makes;

S_I_D_E_E_ G _ D

 

[Jeff]

I knew it was something powered.

High = intoxicated

 

[The Major]

High = intoxicated

Yeah I get it. I was thinking 'drunk'.

 

[Jeff]

[The Major]

The other one is spindle legged. It's an anagram.

Beverley getting one New Labour politician.

BE_I_

It's Bev (beverley) +i(one) + n(new) Labour politician= Bevin.

 

[bocadillo]

It's Bev (beverley) +i(one) + n(new) Labour politician= Bevin.

That was how I got there too.

 

[Macky]

It's Bev (beverley) +i(one) + n(new) Labour politician= Bevin.

That was how I got there too.

So, how does the clue give you the last letter n?

 

[The Major]

So, how does the clue give you the last letter n?

N is the first letter of new. It's a cryptic clue, you get used to it.

 

[Macky]

N is the first letter of new. It's a cryptic clue, you get used to it.

So, if the clue had been 'Beverley getting one New tattoo on her left tit', the answer could be the same?

 

[bocadillo]

Just as the Major says.

If by 'left tit' you meant a labour politician then yes.
