A German publishing group which supports a united Europe has launched a bid to buy the Eurosceptic Telegraph newspaper. The Telegraph has been in limbo since Redbird IMI tried to buy the newspapers in 2023. It later withdrew its bid in November, and in December asked Ms Nandy to transfer its interest in the newspapers to DMGT. The proposed acquisition by DMGT would bring The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph under the same umbrella as the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, Metro and The i Paper. DMGT has said The Telegraph would remain editorially independent, as are all DMGT titles.
