Accounts of southern right-wingers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stories

'accounts' is the definition.
(I know this)

'southern right-wingers' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'right-wingers' becomes 'tories' (Tory is an example).
's'+'tories'='STORIES'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stories that I've seen before include "Accounts" , "Lies" , "Tales" , "See 21" , "Floors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
