Judge Tory party right (8)
I believe the answer is:
consider
'judge' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'tory party right' is the wordplay.
'tory' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for Conservative).
'party' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before**).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'con'+'side'+'r'='CONSIDER'
(Other definitions for consider that I've seen before include "Think about, reflect upon" , "Reckon, deem" , "Deem to be, regard" , "Attend to" , "Cogitate" .)
