motion: <p class="indent" pid="c598.1/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The effects of inadequate scrutiny in the past are visible in the amount of tinkering in the new Bill&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c598.1/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;would all these tweaks have been necessary if there had been adequate consultation and more thorough scrutiny in the first place?&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c604.3/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;dark strategy to twist arms.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c604.3/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;encourage a crash in financial markets after losing a first vote in the hope this stampedes MPs into voting for it a second time&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c607.1/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;there is a&#8230;strong push to reduce poverty&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c609.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The huge fortunes of those at the very top&#8230;were left almost untouched.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c615.7/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;One of the big issues we&#8217;re now talking about is land, how do we go about looking at collective ownership of land&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c617.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;British compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited and callous approach&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c624.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;No social system will bring us happiness, health and prosperity unless it is inspired by something greater than materialism.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c624.2/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;punitive, mean-spirited and often callous&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c624.2/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and economic disaster&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c624.2/12" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c630.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The experience of the United Kingdom, especially since 2010, underscores the conclusion that poverty is a political choice. Austerity could easily have spared the poor, if the political will had existed to do so. Resources were available to the Treasury at the last budget that could have transformed the situation of millions of people living in poverty, but the political choice was made to fund tax cuts for the wealthy instead.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c636.1/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Any man can make mistakes, but only a fool persists in his error.&#8221;</p>
