I believe the answer is:

hot-tempered

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

'likely to blow his top' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'deport them ordered farage finally entering' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'entering' indicates putting letters inside.
The final letter of 'farage' is 'e'.
'deport'+'them'='deportthem'
'deportthem' is an anagram of 'hottemperd'.
'hottemperd' enclosing 'e' is 'HOT-TEMPERED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hot-tempered that I've seen before include "Easily angered" , "Irascible" , "Fiery" .)
