"The most Googled man in the world, who is British, becoming the PM? After @Fidias0 became a member of (the) EU parliament from his YouTube channel. At the time of great awakening and distrust in the political class? Stranger things have happened. I am 100% serious. I am in the next election."

On the same day (January 5, 2025), Andrew Tate elaborated on his plans if he became the UK's next Prime Minister. While claiming that "British men died for British soil," the former professional kickboxer claimed that "illegal immigration will fall to zero":
"Britsh men died for British soil. It is not yours and you have no right to it. It is not a line on a map, it is an island defended with the lives of the brave. If you get on a boat, we won't let you in. We have no obligation to save you from that boat no matter how rough the seas. You shouldn't be on the boat in the first place. You have no rights to our land. Illegal immigration will fall to zero enforced by the Royal Navy. Do not come to our isle. Do not risk it. We do not offer salvation. Prime Minister Tate."
Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, made headlines on December 18, 2024, when reports surfaced claiming they could lose $3.5 million in a tax fraud case in the United Kingdom.
