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.
