Pin socialist who gets harassed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

badgered

'harassed' is the definition.
('badger' can be a synonym of 'harass')

'pin socialist' is the wordplay.
'pin' becomes 'badge'.
'socialist' becomes 'red' (socialism is often associated with the colour red).
'badge'+'red'='BADGERED'

'who gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for badgered that I've seen before include "Annoyed persistently" , "Harassed" , "hassled" , "chivvied" , "Pestered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
