Family member needing followers after boycott (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
black sheep
'family member' is the definition.
'followers after boycott' is the wordplay.
'followers' becomes 'sheep' (I have seen 'Timid followers ' mean 'sheep' so perhaps 'followers' could also mean 'sheep').
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'boycott' becomes 'black' (I've seen this before).
'sheep' after 'black' is 'BLACK SHEEP'.
'needing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for black sheep that I've seen before include "scoundrel" , "the sort that family might shun" , "Disreputable relative" , "ostracised family member" , "disreputable one" .)
