'small conservative deceits concealing new' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'conservative' becomes 'tory' (informal term for a Conservative Party member).
'deceits' becomes 'lies' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'concealing' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'lies' enclosing 'n' is 'lines'.
's'+'tory'+'lines'='STORYLINES'
