I'm assuming he deliberately tries to be irritating. He's something of an act.
If not then I'd be concerned if I said the sort of thing he does and really thought it was OK.

A bit like Reform, who went into elections promising to save money by cutting waste, and cut taxes.

Reform UK councils unveil plans for tax rises and service cuts
Party controls nine English councils and leads three minority administrations after last year’s local election wins"Several Reform UK councils have unveiled plans for above-inflation council tax rises as well as reductions in investment and service cuts, prompting accusations that the party is “betraying” residents.
Four Reform-led local authorities have so far confirmed plans for inflation-busting council tax increases.
Other proposals for 2026-27 include the closure of household waste and recycling centres, cuts to winter gritting and school crossing patrol budgets, selling off cultural assets and new parking charges.
Reform controls nine English councils and leads three other minority administrations after winning power for the first time in last May’s local elections.
Ahead of the votes, several leading candidates promised the party would “cut your taxes”.
Nigel Farage’s populist outfit also pledged to root out waste in a drive inspired by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency in the US.
But less than a year later, draft budgets show Reform-led councils are turning to tax rises, asset sales and service cuts to help balance their books."

The dolts will still vote for them. Remember Brexit?
What a load of whiney partisan twaddle. But the clue's tucked at the end. Did you expect a complete turnaround after a few months? Nobody else did.
I think most Reform voters are actually grown-up enough to accept that public services sometimes need to be cut to reduce taxes. It's only rampant screaming lefties that actually wet themselves whenever anyone mentions "cuts". Everyone else just thinks it's good decision-making to sometimes reduce things.
Do the voting public believe a single word UK traitor Fromage says?
Some actually hang onto his anti-immigrant rhetoric and believe every word. Even after Brexit. Even after his local councils failures.
Good to hear that you think everyone supports cutting pensions, education and the NHS.

This may help the debate on comparing electricity costs per kWh

The cheapest electricity prices in the world could be found in Iran in 2023, whereas the cost of electricity per kwh was highest in Europe.

They are household prices, which are govt-controlled and subsidised in the UK.This may help the debate on comparing electricity costs per kWh

Industry pays much, much more, possibly the highest prices in the world. Which is important, as that's why our pubs and many other businesses are shutting down. It definitely affects your household finances when you lose your job.
The usual lefty excuses for government waste there.
"Cut anything and your granny will die"
Pathetic.
Like Winter fuel allowance to wealthy pensioners you mean? Lefty you say?
Lol.
Errr... wasn't that the people's socialist party?
Most better off pensioners I know that get this payout give it to their favourite charity. As would I if it’s still in place when I get my state pension
AND when Labour did their U turn why did they only decide to claw it back for pensioners with an income over £35k
