Using words endlessly, politicians in places of worship (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oratories

'places of worship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'using words endlessly politicians' is the wordplay.
'using words' becomes 'oral' (oral can mean using speech).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'politicians' becomes 'tories' (informal term for the Conservative Party).
'oral' with its final letter removed is 'ora'.
'ora'+'tories'='ORATORIES'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for oratories that I've seen is " places of worship".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
