Times Quick Cryptic No 2143 by Orpheus

Today’s puzzle from Orpheus took me just under 11 minutes to solve, my quickest this week.  However, a gap in my GK meant that I needed some more time to properly parse 13d when I came to write the blog.  The answer was obvious, if not the means of getting there.  There was also a surprising lack of anagrams, with only one partial anagram to be found, although homophone clues seemed to make up the difference.
