One of Britain's most controversial newspapers has divulged its public stance on the EU Referendum, using it's front page to declare its allegiance to the Leave campaign.
This week The Sun newspaper urged readers to free their country from "dictatorial Brussels". In a front page editorial under the headline "BeLeave in Britain", the paper warned that staying in the EU would be worse for immigration, worse for jobs, worse for wages and "worse for our way of life".
The Sun has slated the EU for its undemocratic nature and encourages British people to reclaim their democracy.
The paper joins The Daily Mail, The Daily Express and The Morning Star in backing the Leave campaign. While the Guardian, The Economist and The Financial Times have all backed the Remain campaign.
The Daily Mail and The Sun are two of the most widely read newspapers in the UK and their declarations of allegiance cannot fail to have an impact on readers.
In the latest opinion poll conducted by social research company TNS from 7-13 June the Leave campaign had moved seven points clear of Remain. The poll found that among those likely to vote, some 47% backed Brexit with 40% in favour of Remain and 13% undecided.
