I believe the answer is:

paisley

(Other definitions for paisley that I've seen before include "Colourful pattern of the northern politician" , "Scottish town - bright pattern - Unionist Ian" , "Colourful Scottish pattern" , "Patterned textile originating in a Scottish town" , "Ian, politician or kind of pattern" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
