British tabloid newspaper that has recently celebrated 100 years in print.
Prior to the 80s, the newspaper was a broadsheet.
For most of its existence it has been right-wing but for the last couple of years it has shifted its support to the Labour party largely due to its most recent owner Lord Hollick and the editor Rosie Boycott.
As of 2001, it has now been purchased by the porn and gossip magazine baron Richard Desmond, publisher of OK!, Asian Babes and Big Ones. Rosie Boycott has resigned amidst job cuts and the newspaper is likely to swing to the right again.
The cartoonist Giles and the columnist Beachcomber have long been associated with the Express.
