I believe the answer is:

weed out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get rid of' is the definition.
(weeding out is a kind of getting rid of)

'the things we doubt?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'we' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weed out that I've seen before include "Remove unwanted elements" , "Identify and get rid of" , "Eliminate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
