The Barclay brothers finally bought the telegraph in 2004 for £665m after a lot of bidding and lawsuits.
Barclay brothers accused of tax exile.
the guardian and the BBC have reported stories of tax exile about the Barclay brothers although they heavily deny it they haven't payed tax for their hotel in 17 years and that's just for 1 of their many businesses.
After 2004 the online telegraph was re introduced from 1995. In June 2014, The Telegraph was criticised by private eye for its policy of replacing experienced journalists and news managers with less-experienced staff

The telegraphs political views:
In modern times the telegraph has been politically conservative due to relationships with editors and owners of the newspaper with the conservative party and also the party’s general right wing political stand. However When the Barclay brothers purchased the Telegraph Group in late June 2004, Sir David Barclay suggested that The Daily Telegraph might no longer be the "house newspaper" of the Conservatives in the future. In an interview with The Guardian he said, "Where the government are right we shall support them". The editorial board endorsed the Conservative Party in the 2005 general election.
