Labour leader facing confused Tories hangs around (7)
I believe the answer is:
loiters
'hangs around' is the definition.
('loiter' can be a synonym of 'hang around')
'labour leader facing confused tories' is the wordplay.
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
'facing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'labour' is 'l'.
'tories' is an anagram of 'oiters'.
'l'+'oiters'='LOITERS'
(Other definitions for loiters that I've seen before include "Hangs about with toilers" , "Hangs about idly" , "dawdles" , "Fails to move on" , "Waits idly" .)
