I first watched that video in Boris and the kettle, even thinking possibly it might be deep fake.
It was not, he and his party are really a bit thick. And there is quite an analogy there in that, the extremely stupid kettle advice means the likes of Johnson simply might well have had limited clue on the damage they were doing with Brexit
Diverging from that, the 50p per kw/h, and said to be approaching £1 per kw/h charge for electricity had already enforced a change of habit.
Pragmatically, for a single mug of piping hot water, I fill an empty kettle using the mug itself. I turn it on for exactly 30 seconds (2.8kw kettle) and only pour when all the noise has abated. You can also do this without a timer using the noise level as the gauge.
This compares with 60 seconds before that automatic off switch works and 48 seconds when a fairly vigorous boil starts. This halves this particular cost, and will be even more major if you currently do the more standard 'fill up and boil'. Note that this is a flat base element kettle.
