No child should be hungry. This was such a small thing in the big scheme of support for the nation. A small thing that went directly to those in need. Disappointed in you voting against this.

Outrageous!! How can you and all other mp’s who voted justify starving children that are already vulnerable? You were quick to vote so we deserve and expect a response just as quick

This is 21st century UK. how on earth do we have hungry children, let alone have MPs that are happy to vote against feeding them in holidays? Shameful.

Witney is a great place to live. We support each other. How we've pulled together throughout this difficult year is proof of that. To withhold food from hungry children is not what we do. We do not support your decision and you have not represented us - your constituents.

Shame on you all voting to abandon the most vulnerable children in our society whilst accepting a £3000 payrise, my disgust levels are at an all time high.

How can I his be right? Makes me ashamed to be British. However proud not to have voted conservative.

There is no excuse for child hunger. Children cannot fix this themselves and it is a source of national shame that this happens in our country. That this happens in our area brings me to tears.

There are parts of Witney that I have only recently discovered or other parts I do not know at all. I can truly understand how people (and children) need support in these C19 times. Loosing a job and income knows know boundaries of class or status. A good healthy nutritious lunch/dinner lays a foundation for healthy, well educated citizens of the future.

Heavily subsidised Bar and Restaurant for the House of Commons but no holiday food for vulnerable children.

This should be beyond politics unless you are a heartless and vindictive Tory. Shame on you.
