Storm about like a politician in a frenzy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rampage

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

'storm about' is the definition.
'rampage' can be an answer for 'storm' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'about' bit.

'a politician in a frenzy' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a frenzy' becomes 'rage' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'mp'='amp'
'amp' going inside 'rage' is 'RAMPAGE'.

'like' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rampage that I've seen before include "Violent action" , "Map gear (anag.)" , "Run amok" , "Rush about wildly in par game" , "Rioting, for example" .)
