Jobs questions following Tories' leader (5)
I believe the answer is:
tasks
'jobs' is the definition.
('task' can be a synonym of 'job')
'questions following tories' leader' is the wordplay.
'questions' becomes 'asks' (as in asking a question).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'tories' is 't'.
'asks' after 't' is 'TASKS'.
(Other definitions for tasks that I've seen before include "Chores, jobs" , "Chores, undertakings" , "various jobs" , "Labours" , "Chores, duties" .)
