Tony's project Hercules might not have welcomed? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new labour

'tony's project' is the definition.
(the Labour party under Tony Blair)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for new labour that I've seen before include "Tony's cronies" , "legacy of Blair?" , "left brand" , "A political project" , "party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
