Tired war becoming more tasteless (8)
I believe the answer is:
tawdrier
'more tasteless' is the definition.
('tawdry' can be similar in meaning to 'tasteless')
'tired war becoming' is the wordplay.
'becoming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tired'+'war'='tiredwar'
'tiredwar' anagrammed gives 'TAWDRIER'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
