Quibble about it being put in favourite pea soup? (8)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:

Ultimately swingeing cuts exposed twice — know what I mean? (5,5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
{swingein}G [ultimately] contained by [cuts] NUDE (exposed) x 2 [twice]. Probably a reference to the recurring character played by Eric Idle in Monty Python sketches whose catchphrases included ‘Nudge nudge’, ‘wink wink’, ‘say no more’, ‘know what I mean?’

I then worked out ‘cement’ myself. Compo in the surface reading is probably intended as a reference to a character of that name in the unfunniest TV sitcom ever made called Last of the Summer Wine. Inexplicably it ran for 37 years with all 295 episodes written by its creator, Roy Clarke.
