Unimportant point elaborately made by the Tory leader (6)
I believe the answer is:
tinpot
'unimportant' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'point elaborately made by the tory leader' is the wordplay.
'elaborately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'made by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (letters written or made by another set of letters).
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'tory' is 't'.
'point' with letters rearranged gives 'tinpo'.
'tinpo'+'t'='TINPOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tinpot that I've seen before include "Pathetic" , "of little value" , "Rubbishy" , "useless" , "Mickey Mouse" .)
