Get rid of some French politician, twisted inside (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

destroy

'get rid of' is the definition.
(get rid of can mean to destroy or discard)

'some french politician twisted inside' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'some french' could be 'des' ('some' in French) and 'des' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'troy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for destroy that I've seen before include "Obliterate" , "Ruin; pull down" , "Get rid of" , "Annihilate" , "Kill; ruin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
