Andrew Tate's 'bro politics' is coming for the UK. Should we be worried?

It’s not very often that Nigel Farage is made to look like a cuddly moderate, but there are sinister forces at play in British politics. X CEO Elon Musk has turned himself into a de facto British political pundit, weighing in on the discourse around grooming gangs and calling for far-Right agitator Tommy Robinson to be freed from prison. Even Farage refused to align with Musk on this, saying “Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform”.
Now, manosphere social media personality Andrew Tate has launched a British political party. You’d be forgiven for thinking it was all a big joke: the party is called “BRUV”, which stands for Britain Restoring Underlying Values. Its raison d’être reads like a video game blurb: “This is a war to reclaim Britain. No excuses, no compromises, no second chances. We will defend our borders, crush crime, purge corruption, and restore pride to a nation under siege.”.
The party’s “charter” is an amateurish PowerPoint presentation with occasional outbursts in capital letters and liberal use of the Union Jack. The Bruv party’s policies include having Royal Navy warships patrolling the English Channel to deter illegal migrants, “restoring masculinity and strength”, setting up a TV channel called BBC Punishment, “a 24/7 live broadcast of knife crime offenders serving solitary confinement”, and cutting foreign aid to zero.
