Censor right-wing writer (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
blue-pencil
'censor' is the definition.
(I know this)
'right-wing writer' is the wordplay.
'right-wing' becomes 'blue' (blue is the colour of the Conservative Party).
'writer' becomes 'pencil' (something which writes).
'blue'+'pencil'='BLUE-PENCIL'
(Another definition for blue-pencil that I've seen is " Censor".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
