Storm about a politician, in a fury (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rampage

'a fury' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'storm about a politician' is the wordplay.
'storm' becomes 'rage' ('rage' can be a synonym of 'storm'**).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'politician' becomes 'mp'.
'a'+'mp'='amp'
'rage' placed around 'amp' is 'RAMPAGE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rampage that I've seen before include "Fury" , "Run wild" , "Destructive spree" , "destructive behaviour" , "Rush around violently and uncontrollably" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
