Andrew Tate Announces UK PM Bid, Targets Labour Party Amid £2.7M Tax Seizure

Jan 11, 2025, 04:49 PM

Andrew Tate, a controversial British-American social media personality and businessman, has announced his intention to run for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the upcoming elections. Tate, who has faced legal challenges in Romania and the UK over allegations of rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal organization, claims his bid is aimed at addressing what he describes as the country's 'eternal decline.' He has accused the UK government of being controlled by 'satanists' and the Labour Party of covering up crimes, vowing to 'repair' the nation and 'put them all in jail' if elected. Tate also declared himself the leader of the 'BRUV Party' and presented himself as the 'only hope' for Britain's recovery. His campaign has sparked widespread debate, with some dismissing it as a distraction while others criticize his controversial past and rhetoric. A British court recently allowed authorities to seize £2.7 million from Tate and his brother for unpaid taxes, adding to his ongoing legal troubles. He has also conducted a Twitter poll on his candidacy and published a manifesto outlining his vision.
