There have never been enough houses in this country, which is why they are so expensive. Unfortunately, that suits a lot of homeowners.

And yet most of the focus in SW1 is on some 'scandal' which will be irrelevant in 6 months. Just desperate.

So, the problem isn’t with the government (this time), but with the developers? Or is the problem somewhere else (e.g lack of land being freed up for development)?

I suspect an issue is supply and demand - a surge in housing means restraint on house prices, meaning lower profits for housebuilders.
