Bigoted Blair lie damaged Labour's leader (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illiberal

'bigoted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'blair lie damaged labour's leader' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'labour's leader' becomes 'l'.
'blair'+'lie'='blairlie'
'blairlie' with letters rearranged gives 'illibera'.
'illibera'+'l'='ILLIBERAL'

(Other definitions for illiberal that I've seen before include "Reactionary - mean" , "Intolerant; reactionary" , "Narrow-minded" , "Intolerant; ungenerous" , "Restrictive" .)
