The tactic of the high-circulation British daily is to cap other tabloids with loud and populist headlines. The Sun is known for its rightwing, anti-Europe and often anti-German stance. In the elections in 1997, 2001 and 2005 it backed Tony Blair and Labour. In 2016 it threw its weight behind Brexit. In 2015 it radically revised its online strategy and removed the paywall, now offering free access to all content.
