Ruling Tory's name repeatedly disturbing people (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

governance

'ruling' is the definition.

'tory's name repeatedly disturbing people' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'verna' and 'verna' is located in the answer.
'tory' could be 'c' and 'c' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gone' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Another definition for governance that I've seen is " Control".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
