As Johnson spins response misrepresents a right big let-down (5-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

world-beating

'as johnson spins response' is the definition.
(ref to Boris Johnson's 'world-beating app' quote)

'misrepresents a right big let-down' is the wordplay.
'misrepresents' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'misrepresented' mean this).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'a'+'r'+'big'+'let'+'down'='arbigletdown'
'arbigletdown' is an anagram of 'WORLD-BEATING'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
