Was furious about Virginia being sacked (7)
I believe the answer is:
ravaged
'being sacked' is the definition.
('ravaged' can be a synonym of 'sacked')
'was furious about virginia' is the wordplay.
'was furious' becomes 'raged' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'raged' enclosing 'va' is 'RAVAGED'.
(Other definitions for ravaged that I've seen before include "laid waste" , "Despoiled and pillaged" , "Devastated, having suffered great damage" , "with wrecked appearance" .)
