Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate has set his sights on the Prime Minister’s office in Britain. His political vehicle? A newly formed party is called ‘BRUV’, an acronym for ‘Britain Restoring Underlying Values’. The party has had anything but a smooth start, marred by controversies, policy protests, and even the temporary suspension of its official X account due to unspecified issues.
Its policies have sparked heated debate, with critics raising concerns over data security, excessive measures and dangerous proposals.

Here are details of Tate’s controversial platform:
Restoring accountability in leadership
All promises come with strict deadlines – failure to deliver results leads to immediate resignation without any excuse.
Leadership as a temporary mission rather than long-term governance.
crime and punishment
Tate has proposed a dystopian deterrent to knife crime criminals with a BBC channel dedicated to broadcasting 24/7 footage of convicts in solitary confinement. “No redemption arc. No second chance. Just the cold, harsh reality of a life wasted in a concrete cell,” the policy document reads. Tate argues that this will discourage youth from crime.
Immigration and border control
On illegal migration, the party pledges to implement a zero-tolerance policy with the Royal Navy, ensuring “illegal immigration will be reduced to zero.” A statement in the charter reads: “No matter how rough the sea, we have no obligation to rescue you from that boat.”
lgbtq stance
The BRUV party wants to eliminate what it calls “LGBTQ+ promotion” from schools, reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher’s Section 28 policy. The charter outlines a plan to promote “traditional family values” and prevent classrooms from becoming “a battleground for ideological warfare.”
cultural restoration
Tate has proposed a sweeping cultural shift to restore Britain’s identity, including limiting non-British residents to 10 percent of the population, appointing a British culture minister to preserve history, honoring British heroes, These include replacing modern art with monuments and “ensuring every street is paved”. Britain feels British, with English signage, flags and traditional architecture.
ending foreign aid
The BRUV party has vowed to reduce foreign aid to zero and avoid foreign wars. The manifesto said, “Every single pound will be reinvested in rebuilding Britain.”
doge daddy
One of the party’s more unconventional ideas is to hold weekly referendums on key issues, using blockchain technology to securely log the votes. Tate claims, “Great Britain’s DOGE will be the daddy,” – short for the domestic Department for Youth Aid and Development.

Who is Andrew Tate?
Andrew Tate faces multiple charges in two cases in Romania and the UK. Romanian prosecutors have charged him and his brother, Tristan, with human trafficking and rape, in which seven women were allegedly lured into relationships and forced to create pornographic material. Other charges include money laundering and trafficking of minors
In August 2024, he was placed under house arrest by a Romanian judge after being accused of having sex with a minor and trafficking in underage persons.
The UK charges relate to incidents between 2012 and 2015, including allegations of sexual aggression. Both brothers denied all allegations and claimed that they were targeted because of their money. The Romanian legal process has faced delays, with the indictment sent back for review. The brothers are subject to legal sanctions, assets have been frozen and an investigation is underway.
