This morning, finish with a conservative corrective (10)
I believe the answer is:
amendatory
'corrective' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'this morning finish with a conservative' is the wordplay.
'this morning' becomes 'am' (as in en:00 AM).
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'conservative' becomes 'tory' (informal term for a Conservative Party member).
'am'+'end'+'a'+'tory'='AMENDATORY'
(Another definition for amendatory that I've seen is " putting things right".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
