Daily Star
The Star was launched in 1978 (the first brand-new national daily since the Daily Mirror in 1903) with the aim of competing for The Sun‘s readership, and thus with similar sensationalism, including a topless model.
It has a similarly hard right-wing stance politically to both its sister paper the Daily Express and its great rival The Sun – although the hard news content is negligible (even less than The Sun‘s); sport, scandal (especially involving sex) and celebrity gossip are what fill the average edition of the Star.
A separate Sunday edition called the Daily Star Sunday was established in 2002.

Left-wing red-top tabloid published on Sundays. Very little to choose between it and its more successful sister paper, the Sunday Mirror
The Sun
The red-top par excellence, founded in 1964 and owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International
Sunday Mirror
Like its daily namesake, a left-wing populist tabloid with little in the way of hard news
