Stirring diatribe about northeast wasted (10)
I believe the answer is:
inebriated
'wasted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stirring diatribe about northeast' is the wordplay.
'stirring' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'northeast' becomes 'NE' (abbreviation).
'diatribe' with letters rearranged gives 'ibriated'.
'ibriated' enclosing 'ne' is 'INEBRIATED'.
(Other definitions for inebriated that I've seen before include "Bombed" , "Tipsy" , "Drunk" , "wasted" .)
