Time to get outspoken Reading Tories' leader evicted - a complete removal (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eradication

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'complete removal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time to get outspoken reading tories' leader evicted a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'time' could be 'era' (an era is a period of time) and 'era' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'diction' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eradication that I've seen before include "Complete destruction" , "Complete removal" .)
