View criminal tapes implicating Conservative (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspect

'view' is the definition.
('aspect' can be a synonym of 'view')

'criminal tapes implicating conservative' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'implicating' indicates putting letters inside.
'conservative' becomes 'c' (abbreviation commonly used in UK politics).
'tapes' with letters rearranged gives 'aspet'.
'aspet' going around 'c' is 'ASPECT'.

(Other definitions for aspect that I've seen before include "Manner" , "Look; side of building" , "Particular feature or quality" , "Point of view or appearance" , "particular view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
