Tories gutted after politician among Right blares (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trumpets

'blares' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'tories gutted after politician among right' is the wordplay.
'gutted' means to remove the middle letters (to gut something is to remove its insides).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'among' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are placed among others).
'right' becomes 'true' (associated in meaning).
'tories' with its middle removed is 'ts'.
'mp' placed into 'true' is 'trumpe'.
'ts' put after 'trumpe' is 'TRUMPETS'.

(Other definitions for trumpets that I've seen before include "Brass wind instruments" , "Brass musical instruments" , "Proclaims loudly like elephant sounds" .)
