A long angry speech - read it out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tirade

'a long angry speech?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'read it out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'read'+'it'='readit'
'readit' with letters rearranged gives 'TIRADE'.

(Other definitions for tirade that I've seen before include "Torrent of abuse" , "Verbal onslaught" , "lecture" , "String of invective" , "Vocal abuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
