Default Daily Star and The Exress politics about to have a big change


Daily Mirror owner strikes £200m deal to buy Daily Express and Daily Star publisher

Newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror has agreed a near-£200m deal to buy a string of Northern & Shell titles including the Daily Express and Daily Star.

The deal will see the publisher of the Daily Mirror snap up national newspaper titles the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday and three celebrity magazines OK!, New! and Star.

It will also hold a 50pc slice of the Irish Daily Star.

The acquisition price is £126.7m, but Trinity Mirror will also make a one-off £41.2m payment into the Northern & Shell pension scheme, then a further £29.2m through to 2027.

The Star has never really been a political paper but the less we see of the Express vile vitriolic headlines cannot be a bad thing.

You said the mirror twice, the independent no longer exists and the star is right wing when it rarely gets political but go off!

the indie does exist very much. Also you could add in The Daily record, the Herald, The Scotsman and a few big English city locals

I'm screaming at the thought of one of the Express' reactionary readers sitting down with their breakfast, ready for another day of being indoctrinated with some good old fashioned immigrant bashing and Muslim hating (with a bit of Diana adoration thrown in for good measure), when all of a sudden they see the first front page of the newly owned edition, and spit their cornflakes out in confusion and rage

"WE WELCOME ALL MIGRANTS TO THE UK WITH OPEN ARMS. ESPECIALLY THE MUSLIMS. AND ONES FROM THE EU. BTW THATCHER WAS A TIT X"

I hope they troll them so bad

I’m screaming at others screaming. Nothing like a dose of hype and moral highgrounds from those every bit as indoctrinated as those they accuse - just marching to a different tune. None so blind as those that will not see.

This is probably more a sign of print struggling than a shift in politics tbh. The same thing is happening to TV here.

People get very irate about the Murdoch dominance in print media but not been many expressing concern at the Mirror group now owning 3 of the 10 major national dailies

I don’t think they’d want to alienate and lose their current readers.Surely editorial control would stay in the same hands?
