Accounts of southern right-wingers (7)
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" .)
