Follow taxi belonging to Egypt's gutless opposition leaders (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
shadow cabinet
'opposition leaders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'follow taxi belonging to egypt's gutless' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'shadow' (shadowing is a kind of following).
'taxi' becomes 'cab' (synonyms).
'belonging to' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gutless' suggests removing the centre.
'egypt' with its centre removed is 'et'.
'shadow'+'cab'+'in'+'et'='SHADOW CABINET'
(Other definitions for shadow cabinet that I've seen before include "Policy-making group of opposition party" , "leading members of the opposition" , "MPs of ministerial rank in Opposition" , "Opposition politicians" , "Opposition front bench" .)
