Type of politician feared, awful heel (10)

I believe the answer is:

federalist

'type of politician' is the definition.

'feared awful heel' is the wordplay.
'awful' is an anagram indicator.
'heel' becomes 'list' (I've seen this in other clues).
'feared' with letters rearranged gives 'federa'.
'federa'+'list'='FEDERALIST'

(Another definition for federalist that I've seen is " One sort of politician".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
