The
Sun is the UK's biggest selling daily newspaper. It is Rupert Murdoch's mouthpiece
in the UK. Can probably swing elections too; was behind The Labour Party's Tony Blair from the
get go, but only managed a hung parliament in 2010 after it switched from supporting Gordon Brown's Labour to the Conservative Party under leader David Cameron (with Andy Coulson, former editor of News Of the World, a Murdoch paper, as press officer.) Named after the legendary topless Page 3 girls.

The
Daily Mirror has now dispensed with it's crazy all black of a couple of years
ago (hence the name Dully Mirror) and is now back with the red header again. Markets itself as left of centre politically and undoubtedly does employ some real left of centre journalists and editors, but senior management see it as a marketing position thing - their head quarters are in One Canada Square Canary Wharf.

The
biggest selling Sunday tabloid newspaper. Features scandalous revelations, celebrities
and general tittle tattle. May have ruined more careers and peoples lives than
any other newspaper. Also popularly known as News Of the Screws. Apologized for phone hacking various people in the public domain in a genuine Watergate grade scandal referred to as Hackergate.

The
good old Guardian - you either love it to bits (I do) or you hate it with a vengeance.
A bastion of quality journalism under the editorship of the legendary Alan Rushbridger, it is the oldest daily national newspaper in the
UK. In the 60's/70's had a serious problem with spelling mistakes (Private Eye
named them the Grauniad because of this.) Murdoch is said to hate The Guardian.

The
Daily Mail is now the second biggest circulation daily in the UK. If you want to bash asylum seekers come here. Moans incessantly that the
world is not the way it wants it to be. Not a paper I would want to go down
the pub for a pint with.

The Daily Express is a
paper that has been in serious decline over the last thirty years. It has been mercilessly pummeled by the Daily Mail which has brilliantly out marketed itself against it. Right wing, bullish on house prices, probably has what's on the telly in it too. The last time I bought The Daily Express they were giving away a DVD of Africa Screams, a public domain (ie out of copyright) movie from Abbott and Costello (see another of my sites pdcomedy.com).

The Daily Star has won a massive circulation increase over the last ten years thanks to its concentration
on celebrities and pop star scandals and competitive pricing. Part of the Daily Express
stable. One of the genuine success stories in tabloid newspapers of recent years, under the ownership of Richard Desmond.

The
Times was once the UK's establishment paper of record; nicknamed The Thunderer
for its influence in high society and particularly in political circles. It is now
a user friendly qual-bloid. The Times is owned by News International (Rupert Murdoch),
who also owns The Sun and News of the World. This is my favourite play on words (after Daily Moan) as
The Thun sounds like the Sun but is a more readable Thunderer.

The
lowest circulation quality newspaper. Originally
was set up in the 1980's to be completely unbiased politically. Because of this
it can sometimes seem a little bland (Private Eye named them at the time IndescribinglyBoring
and it has stuck.) Made its name because of its superb photographs, although over
time the other newspapers have worked this out and improved their photo coverage. One of those newspapers people won't appreciate fully until it is gone. Thankfully it continues to cling on.
