Not a good clue simply as to hand+ mbag does NOT mean to undermine. Parses (S)under + mine. Dreadful.

unless you look in Chambers, where you'll find that one meaning of 'handbag' is, indeed, to undermine

The original query misquotes the clue which is : 'Front removed from PART of the writer's handbag'. So part = (s)under, the writer's = mine. And 'to handbag' can indeed mean to undermine. See http://www.absp.org.uk/words/bags.shtml
