buy decent cable cutters ... I have found cutting with a bit of brake cable in it also stops the cut from compressing the tube AND use a small pointy file to clean up the cut to stop it fraying the cable
Take the wheel out and the pads, loosen the screws you can see slightly and wrap a towel (old, not your mums favourite bath towel) around your seat tube to soak up any over spray and hammer the joints with WD40 or the like.
At the same time keep actuating the brake.
Don't do it in the house either or you be knackered, and high off aerosol fumes.
But, that aside, few good suggestions above. In addition the cable angle on entry (and exit to be honest) looks very sharp indeed. Could be problems with the cable moving freely.

It was because of the extra cable housing I just needed to stretch it out.
Any help on how to cut extra outer cable from your brake lever?
While you are at it, shorten the length of outer cable that exits the top tube and goes to the rear brake caliper actuating arm. I see that you have repositioned your saddle, how is the bike fit going?

Thanks man great reply
It was nothing to do with my bike fit at all. I gathered that flexibility in the my lower back is quite bad, it's very stiff, probably due to my wrong doings when I used to do weightlifting and did incorrect form on deadlifts. I'll probably start doing stretches now to improve my lower back.

I always find nail clippers do a good job.

That might be a bonus.
