Splinter group (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

faction

'splinter group' is the definition.
(as in a faction of an organisation)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for faction that I've seen before include "Act on if for a small group within a larger one" , "Clique that seeks power often through intrigue" , "Wing" , "Dissenting group within a larger one" , "group of rebels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
