Crossword Genius

Wreck or use loo, pushing the one in front back a bit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruinate

'wreck' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'back a bit' is the wordplay.
'back' becomes 'ruin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a bit' becomes 'ate' ('bite' can be similar in meaning to 'eat').
'ruin'+'ate'='RUINATE'

'or use loo pushing the one in front' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
