Real me is free to be less generous (8)
I believe the answer is:
measlier
'be less generous' is the definition.
'real me is free' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates an anagram.
'real'+'me'+'is'='realmeis'
'realmeis' with letters rearranged gives 'MEASLIER'.
'to' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
