Having time to oust Conservative, inspire followers (9)
I believe the answer is:
entourage
'followers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'having time to oust conservative inspire' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'time' could be 'age' (an age is a period of time) and 'age' is located in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entourage that I've seen before include "Staff" , "Group of followers" , "The people accompanying a VIP" , "company" , "Group of attendants" .)
