Politician not close to Harry Hill (3)
I believe the answer is:
tor
'hill' is the definition.
(I know that tor is a type of hill)
'politician not close' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'tory' (term for a Conservative Party politician).
'not close' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'not closing' mean this).
'tory' with its final letter taken off is 'TOR'.
'to harry' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "Pillar of rock" , "Rot on a hill in Devon" , "Rot on a Cornish hill" , "It rises" , "eminence" .)
