Dicky to be an MP - initially ensconced away from any constructive activity (3-4)

I think this is 'off-site' ??? But I don't get the 'dicky to be mp' and how that works.

Dicky = Off (as in 'not well', a bit sick etc) Sit = to be an MP + E(nsconced) (initially).

off -site = away from any constructive activity (def)
off - dicky; in poor condition

Glad I could help. (And thanks to Elle for the 'definition' part - I assumed you'd got that and were concerned about only the parsing).

Sorry, Malone, I wasn't intruding on your answer....your post wasn't up there, when I started answering…....I paused in the middle of typing to talk!

It's fine, Elle. I'm not the fastest of typists myself - and sometimes we have three or four answers, explanations coming in at the same time.
