Party leader is not pleased with gifts (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gifts' is the definition.
(I know this)

'party leader is not pleased' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'not' could be 'nt' (synonyms) and 'nt' is present in the answer.
'party leader' could be 'p' (leader of the word 'party') and 'p' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for presents that I've seen before include "donations" , "Hands over formally" , "special things at Christmas?" , "Hands over the gifts" , "Introduces" .)
