Tories laid out leaders (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editorials

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

'tories laid out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'tories'+'laid'='torieslaid'
'torieslaid' anagrammed gives 'EDITORIALS'.

(Other definitions for editorials that I've seen before include "Newspapers' opinion columns" , "Leaders" , "Leading articles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
