Left reprimand VIP facility (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red carpet

'vip facility' is the definition.
(as in a film premiere)

'left reprimand' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'reprimand' becomes 'carpet' (carpet can informally mean to reprimand or rebuke).
'red'+'carpet'='RED-CARPET'

(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "one under the Queen?" , "What a distinguished visitor walks on" , "celebrity treatment" , "for star treatment" , "base for celebrities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
