The Sun is a national institution with outrageous headlines, Page Three girls and mean-spirited contents.
Once the 'paper of the workers', it now competes head-on with the Sun, while rediscovering its left-of-centre heritage.
Barely qualifying as a 'news' paper, the Sport takes bad taste to the extreme, with stories of aliens and celebs (sometimes in the same report), and pictures of semi-naked women of improbable proportions.
Bills itself as middle-market, but is really just a tabloid in disguise. Right-of-centre and streaming a steady diet of crime reports and thinly veiled scare stories about threatening immigrants and rampant homosexuals. Very similar to the equally charmless Daily Express.
A right-of-centre and extremely popular broadsheet.

For an innovative, left-of-centre read, the Guardian is a great choice.

Predominantly classical music, but also goes into roots and world music.
Offers a good mix of news, current affairs, drama, humour and talk.
