Rogue calmed a politician being bombastic (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

declamatory

'bombastic' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'rogue calmed a politician' is the wordplay.
'rogue' indicates anagramming the letters (letters go rogue).
'politician' becomes 'tory' (term for a Conservative Party politician).
'calmed' anagrammed gives 'declam'.
'declam'+'a'+'tory'='DECLAMATORY'

'being' is the link.

(Another definition for declamatory that I've seen is " Noisy and rhetorical".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
