Why are Labour MPs blocking housing developments when their Leader is pledging to build more?

You're deluded if you think that the next one will be any different. Note how fiddles doesn't state that it is Labour who are NOT picking up these disgruntled Tory voters.
Maybe the calibre of Labour MP's speak volumes. Some are so bad they are kept under wraps like Abacus. And lets not even mention those who want to be Labour MP's.
Suzy Eddie Izzard has failed in her bid to become Labour's candidate for Brighton Pavilion at the next general election
I’m actually quite surprised. Having worked in Brighton and seen the calibre of the average resident it does surprise me that Izzard has not made the cut.

A question put to deputy Prime Minister ( Oliver Dowden ) this morning on SKY News by presenter Trevor Philips Philips showed the Tory MP a chart of 5 pledges made by Rishi Sunak at the begining of the year, only one of which has been achieved, but not by the government, but by the Bank of England ... halving inflation. This comes on top of a poll which shows that Rishi Sunak is now more unpopular amongst the electorate than Boris Johnson, at Johnsons lowest ebb. These are 5 Pledges made by the Prime Minister, which he promised he would achieve this year, if the government fails to deliver, then as the SKY News presenter asked "Whats the point of this government". simplenews.co.uk/politics/what-is-the-point-of-your-government-oliver-dowden-roasted-over-sunaks-broken-pledges/i read in The Spectator a few weeks back that Rishi’s pledges are about as useful to the party as the tank traps Hitler created on the western front were to his war effort in the latter part of 1944. As in, they weren’t But i wouldn’t credit Trevor Phillips with finding his arse to wipe it.

...the economy is struggling, public services are all struggling, the NHS is in a deplorable state... Same as it ever was then, Fiddler. I can't remember a time when the narrative was any different, under any government. Wrong - under every government since the end of the Second World War, the British people have been better off at the end of that government, both Conservative and Labour. This is the first time in several generations that the standard of living has fallen, and on top of that, all public services are in a worse state, some barely functioning properly. Our NHS was in a strong and health position in 2010, waiting times fell dramaticaly, waiting times also fell, and ambulances responded within response times, children needing urgent mental health appointments got them quickly.

The local MP Yvette Cooper has decided to side with her constituents, most of whom it seems are opposed to the development. The proposed development is not for 40 so called "low cost homes" as stated in the Yorkshire Post (Link) letter, the development is proposing over 400 houses, in a village, on farmland. The objectors main argument is that a developmen of this size and proportion would swamp their village and alter its village character.

You do keep trotting out that old nonsense, Fiddler.

My opening post is about the HERE and NOW, not what if, and not assumption on what might happen or could happen if Labour were the government. The topic here is about the reality that after 13 years of Tory government, we are now worse off, and the economy is struggling, public services are all struggling, the NHS is in a deplorable state, and this began to happen before Covid. The Prime Minister made five promises to the British people, all but one is now a broken promise If posters want to guess, or pretend they have a crystal ball to see what difference there might be under a different government, then thats fine, we can all pretend to see into the future, but its still a Tory government that has got us to where we are. How exactly are we worse off fiddles? Have you not heard of the cost of living crisis? Or the housing crisis? Or did the headlines about the biggest drop in living standards since the Napoleonic War somehow fail to register? And are you unaware that taxes are higher than at anytime since the war even as everything funded by them is in a state of collapse due to massive cuts? All of which suggests graft and corruption as well as gross incompetence on a massive scale. Indeed one of the currupt thieving Tory profiteers, Lady Mone, has just been exposed. There are thousands like her. She though is going to be made chief scapegoat as a shield to all the others, which is going to give Mone a whole lot more to moan about.

Not nonsense - its fact, but not only is it fact, its indisputable fact The Blair government had to rescue our NHS in 1997 and turn it around, which they did, and now its to be a repeat proccess by Labour, who hopefully will give this shower of shit a bloody good kicking next year.

I thought I would leave this graph here for people to look at, you would think that the electorate would know better now than to trust the Tories with our NHS.

Nobody wanted Sunak. Not even the Tories themselves.

Have you not heard that we had a pandemic and the wrath of the EUSSR to endure? And of course putin thought he would try his luck in invading the Ukrain.
