Member brought to anger by posh Lord’s official? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umpire

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

'lord's official?' is the definition.
'umpire' can be an answer for 'official?' (umpire is a kind of official). I'm not sure about the 'lord's' bit.

'member brought to anger by posh' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'mp'.
'brought to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (synonyms).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-u).
'mp' put next to 'ire' is 'mpire'.
'mpire' put after 'u' is 'UMPIRE'.
