Andrew Tate, currently under house arrest in Romania, has launched a new political venture dubbed the “Britain Restoring Underlying Values” (BRUV) party. Announcing the party via an online manifesto, Tate outlined a vision for sweeping changes in the UK’s political and economic landscape, with a clear emphasis on blockchain technology and Bitcoin.
One of the key proposals in the BRUV manifesto is the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve, which Tate claims would “future-proof” the UK’s economy. He argues that Bitcoin could serve as a “nation-resistant asset,” offering economic stability and protection from external economic pressures. Additionally, Tate advocates for the introduction of blockchain-based voting to ensure greater transparency in UK elections.
Alongside its pro-Bitcoin stance, BRUV has attracted attention for its controversial far-right policy proposals. These include limiting the proportion of non-British residents to 10%, using the Royal Navy to enforce a zero-immigrant policy, and banning LGBTQ+ content in schools. Tate also expressed his desire to overhaul the BBC, with a focus on replacing modern art with statues honoring British historical figures.
The manifesto has drawn considerable criticism, with many pointing out its unprofessional presentation. Critics highlighted that much of the content appears to rely on AI-generated imagery, contains numerous spelling mistakes, and lacks credible sources to back its claims. One of the more unconventional proposals calls for 24/7 live streaming of knife crime offenders in solitary confinement, which many have labeled unrealistic and impractical.
Tate’s foreign policy ideas have also raised eyebrows. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he endorsed former US President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Greenland should be annexed by the United States. Tate claimed to have sent a “diplomatic cable” to Denmark, mocking their opposition with the phrase: “Fighting America is insanity. You’re cooked bruv.”
Despite Tate’s high-profile announcement, the BRUV party is not yet officially registered with the UK Electoral Commission. His move to launch the party follows a poll on X where Tate asked his followers whether he should run for Prime Minister. However, experts have pointed out that the role of Prime Minister in the UK is not directly elected by the public; rather, it is determined by the leader of the party that secures the most seats in Parliament.
The timing of Tate’s announcement coincides with growing criticism of the Labour Party and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer from right-wing figures, including Elon Musk. Musk recently accused Starmer of complicity in what he described as the “rape of Britain,” although no evidence has emerged to substantiate these claims.
Tate remains under house arrest in Romania, facing serious allegations of human trafficking, with potential extradition proceedings to the UK pending.
