No child should go hungry. If the global elites and governments took a cut in their wealth, there would be enough money for all underprivileged children.

Mr Courts, as a constituent of yours I am ashamed of the way you have voted, meaning children in Witney and West Oxon will go hungry this half term and at Christmas. I have never been in the horrific sitatuation of being unable to feed my children, but that does not mean I cannot feel empathy and outrage on at the plight of these families. Your party's policies over the last 10+ yeas have led us to this shameful place as a nation; letting our children go hungry. Think about that next time you sit down to eat!

As a country we should be ashamed that child poverty still exists in the UK. As a supposed honourable member of parliament you should be ashamed of your willingness to push more children into poverty, not even willing to provide one meal a day for a hungry child, how honourable is that? You do not represent me.

Every child deserves to eat! You cannot defend the indefensible, reconsider and reinstate free school meals during the holidays!

Shameful that our MP voted against meals for children while himself receiving a daily allowance for meals and use of a subsidised restaurant funded by the tax payer.

I am a Carterton constituent, about to move to Witney. Your party has got this wrong and completely misjudged the mood of the country. Do something to put it right! I am disgusted by your vote.

Compared to the billions handed out in non-bid contracts to tory supporting private contractors, the cost to extend the free school dinners is a pittance.

Dear Robert,
As someone who represents me, I am truly disappointed that you did not to support children who are hungry. As MPs , you are very privileged and get free workplace lunches whilst earning at least 79K p.a . As a the "taxpayer" , I want my taxes to pay for food for children who are hungry and not privileged MPs. Austerity, the Tory signature in the run up to this Pandemic , has not helped.
Thank you for reading,
Julie Edwards.

Votes against meals for kids, votes against protecting nhs in any future post-Brett trade deals, publicly defends Dominick Cummings for breaking Covid rules and accepts Russian money. Why is he our mp again? Because he helps trim a few hedges for publicity in his home town?

Such a disappointing decision , I work with vulnerable children, Covid 19 has had impacted on their physical and mental health to think that a vulnerable child may also be hungry is tragic.

If Robert Courts had an shred of honour he would join us distributing food parcels to those desperately in need in Witney. Political games are a shameful pastime while children go hungry.
