A loyal following always with me, too (3,4,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

for good measure

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a loyal' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'always with me too' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'for good' (for good can mean permanently or forever).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'me too' becomes 'measure' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'forgood'+'measure'='FOR GOOD MEASURE'

'following' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for for good measure that I've seen before include "as finishing touch?" , "Why we calibrate scales" , "in addition?" , "as well" , "as an extra precaution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
