Agreement from Tory is laid in ruins (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solidarity

'agreement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tory is laid in ruins' is the wordplay.
'in ruins' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tory'+'is'+'laid'='toryislaid'
'toryislaid' anagrammed gives 'SOLIDARITY'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for solidarity that I've seen before include "Showing oneness" , "Supposed alien pattern in corn" , "Mutual support within a group" , "Team spirit" , "Unity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
