Posh female leftist guided somewhere (7)

I believe the answer is:

ushered

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

'guided somewhere' is the definition.
'ushered' can be an answer for 'guided' (usher can mean to guide someone). I'm unsure of the 'somewhere' bit.

'posh female leftist' is the wordplay.
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'female' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'leftist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'u'+'she'+'red'='USHERED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ushered that I've seen before include "Showed to a seat" , "Showed people to seats as in cinemas or theatre" , "Escorted" , "Led" , "Conducted" .)
