If PM lied, is having a reshuffle made more understandable? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

simplified

'made more understandable?' is the definition.
(to simplify is to make more understandable)

'if pm lied is having a reshuffle' is the wordplay.
'having a reshuffle' is an anagram indicator (letters shuffled around).
'if'+'pm'+'lied'+'is'='ifpmliedis'
'ifpmliedis' with letters rearranged gives 'SIMPLIFIED'.

(Other definitions for simplified that I've seen before include "Made easier" , "Made easy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
