Desert Oasis matte painting Collection: 4/6/19: By Hero Central:

My most recent matte painting pieces using a combination of cliffs from Wales and from strange rock formations at the Lymm dam during one of my dog walks.

This was a little more difficult much like my forest piece but I managed it.

I welcome feedback and advice

Lords Vote

On: Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024

Baroness Stedman-Scott moved that this House regrets (1) that the Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/869), laid before the House on 22 August, will leave pensioners worse off in winter; (2) the decision to prioritise above-inflation pay rises for unionised public sector professionals over the needs of the elderly, including many households that are eligible for Pension Credit but do not claim it; and (3) the lack of transparency on these policy decisions during the election period. The House divided:

Ayes: 164 (87.8% Con, 4.9% XB, 3.0% DUP, 2.4% , 1.2% UUP, 0.6% Green) Noes: 132 (92.4% Lab, 6.1% XB, 0.8% , 0.8% Bshp) Absent: ~535
