Naming and shaming starts and row gets worse (7)
I believe the answer is:
nastier
'worse' is the definition.
(nasty can mean bad)
'naming and shaming starts and row' is the wordplay.
'starts' says to take the initial letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'row' becomes 'tier' (a tier is a row of things).
The initial letters of 'naming and shaming' is 'nas'.
'nas'+'tier'='NASTIER'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nastier that I've seen before include "More horrid" , "Getting even worse" , "becomes more unpleasant" , "Retsina (anag) -- not so nice" , "More disgusting" .)
