Is it his normal Kiwi accent or is it a British accent ? Sometimes I think he switches between the two.

It is neither a kiwi or British accent. Britain is made of England, Scotland and Wales all with different accents within.

It is supposed to be a Cockney accent. Now it is a poor Cockney accent at that but it is not a british accent. A Cockney Accent is predominately people living or born in East London.

It maybe hard to believe but England has 100's of accents.

It's an Essex accent. I'm not sure why he's doing that though, it's not really that common anymore.
