I'm trying the FT crossword for the first time in ages - with only about half done so far. Some help might give me a push.
6D is "restrained Tory was abusive on line (10)". I have just ????r?????
5D is "afflicted by the runs (8)". I have just ????e???
Suggestions will be appreciated.

I was thinking of 'laddered' but 'afflicted' seems a bit strong
