Defence cut backs to effect the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows. The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer demonstrate how the team will be formed in 2022...

From Pel"et"on to Bell"et"on
Alas, no one came up with the PM’s favourite word, or even a Latin quote. Nevertheless the standard is high indeed, as seen from the large number of commended captions. But before we get to everyone’s creativity, here are my entries:
PM: “You know, the great thing about riding a static bike is that there’s no need to look where you’re going, or be aware of what’s behind, or to maintain a tight grip. Just like being PM, in fact.”
or
PM: “They say a week is a long time in politics. They should try riding one of these for five minutes.”
Short list – warm congratulations to all of these
Cattletruck: It's the new green 146 prototype that runs on electricity, hot air, and methane gas. Just a few more billion pounds and it will get off the ground.
Kiltrash: During the stop over the electric plane is refuelled
Well two of the three did not see the 'Lycra ' Memo......Thank God
Cabinet office suggest the PM takes part in a 24 hour Charity cycling event to show he is a man of the People.
Anything to stop him attending the daily Covid Press Conference and putting his foot in it...
Team Sky Doctor refuses to name who he got the Testosterone for. The PM appears to know more than he is saying.
Wensleydale: More Government Spin?
And yet, opinion polls show that even without the wheels on, the Conservatives are pulling ahead again.
Treadigraph Boris: "Are you sure this is sustainable energy? I'm whacked!"
If you think this looks funny, Jacob Rees Mogg will be along shortly with his penny-farthing exercise bike...
We've been riding now for, erm, erm, well, gosh! several minutes. I make it beer O'clock! Garçon!
Chu Chu: BAE asks HMG for help peddling its products.
Members of the government demonstrate their climate commitment by forgoing ground transportation when they fly overseas to exercise.
Nutloose: Portly, no longer cost effective, ageing and surplus to requirements, but enough of the PM, let's talk about the Bae146.
Bogie at 6 o’clock
Dan Gerous: Can someone bring me some quadratic equations and a book of Greek lyric poetry. All this physical stuff is too hard.
But for a clever pun I am happy to award this week's CST to a newcomer, I believe:
Cynicalint: No PM, that's the left wing you've attached to, your new voters expect you to recognise this side!
The award is on its way to you, conveyed by static bicycle. It you're lucky it'll be loaded onto a BAe 146. Otherwise it will travel at the speed of a political promise.

Thank you c52
Not expected, and not quite a newcomer! I last won in July 2012, so not a regular captioner!
Need time to gather thoughts and will post a new picture soonest....

The hat? Aye, I've been offered the part of JR Ewing in the remake of Dallas which, for those too young to remember, is a television soap opera about an independent oil producer struggling to survive in the modern world. Wee Jimmy Krankie will be playin' ma estranged wife, Sue Ellen, who has something of a drink problem...
