Not social, I ruined alliances (10)
I believe the answer is:
coalitions
'alliances' is the definition.
('coalition' can be a synonym of 'alliance')
'not social i ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'not'+'social'+'i'='notsociali'
'notsociali' is an anagram of 'COALITIONS'.
(Another definition for coalitions that I've seen is " Alliances".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
