Leaders, real idiots in disarray (10)
I believe the answer is:
editorials
'leaders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'real idiots in disarray' is the wordplay.
'in disarray' indicates an anagram.
'real'+'idiots'='realidiots'
'realidiots' anagrammed gives 'EDITORIALS'.
(Other definitions for editorials that I've seen before include "Leading articles" , "Newspapers' opinion columns" , "Leaders" .)
