From Beaverbrook to Blair

Article Abstract:

The Express newspaper has had long-term political links with United Kingdom governments. The newspaper's creator, Lord Beaverbrook, made payments to the Home Secretary for information in the 1930s. The Express's circulation peaked at 4.3 million copies in 1963 and was once the world's best selling newspaper. The Express was acquired by a Labor peer, Lord Hollick, in 1996, and has since become more friendly to the Labor party, part of a wider trend of a closer relationship between the party and the tabloid press.
