What a frustrating non-answer to my question about the involvement of a firm operating in occupied Palestinian territory in the drilling of the Rosebank oil field. So much for transparency and restoring trust in politics @teamlabouruk.bsky.social!

The @teamlabouruk.bsky.social leadership have promised competency. But not morality. Or vision. More of the same delivered better. Hate delivered better. War crimes delivered better. Poverty delivered better.
Today they have reasonable apologists, but too will turn.
As a mere citizen and constituent it does concern me when ministers in the chamber abuse my MP, or take advantage and do not provide adequate answers to questions whether verbal or written. Neither behaviour would be tolerated in the real world. Perhaps both can be investigated?
Perhaps there would have been less opportunity for evasion if your question had stated what potential implications ministers should have considered?
You were right to raise the question, I just wonder if there might have been a more effective way to phrase it?
I dislike non-answers but I don't think this is a great question. Unclear what type of answer would have been acceptable, and how that would have been useful. Although this might be a parliamentary etiquette thing I'm not aware of.
The answer from Ms Fahnbuleh is a far cry from the platform Labour stood on. I'd say it's actually obfuscation and implicitly confirms involvement of illegally operating firms.

I was hoping that we'd finally have some honest government.

"We can't/won't answer your question" shouldn't take a month.
