This is an accepted version of this page Timothy Montgomerie (born 24 July 1970) is a British political activist, blogger, and columnist.

[8] Following the tradition of people such as William Wilberforce, the Earl of Shaftesbury and Richard Oastler he aimed to make the condition of the poor a priority.

He established a social action project called "Renewing One Nation" which helped Duncan Smith focus on these issues.

While at 18 Doughty Street, Montgomerie hosted its 'Campaign HQ' programme, which developed the channel's Internet political advertisements after allowing viewers to vote on a choice of (usually) three different proposals.

Previous adverts included attacks on taxes, state funding of political parties, and London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

The latest, "A World Without America", with an end scene depicting the Statue of Liberty wearing a burqa, was co-produced by 18 Doughty Street and the website BritainAndAmerica, and had 50,000 views within its first 24 hours of publication.

[26] Montgomerie continued to edit ConservativeHome alongside others including co-editor Jonathan Isaby, assistant editor Joseph Willits, deputy editor Matthew Barrett, and Isaby's replacement, former Conservative MP Paul Goodman[27] After the 2010 general election Montgomerie wrote a report that was critical of David Cameron's election campaign, entitled "Falling short".

[33] In February 2013, Montgomerie announced that in April that year he would join The Times as comment editor, replacing Anne Spackman, but maintained a role as an "advisor" and weekly blogger for ConservativeHome.

"[40][41][42] Montgomerie had been appointed Boris Johnson's Social Justice advisor in the September of that year and the Labour Party called for his removal from the position, accusing him of "Cosying up to a government which peddles antisemitic and Islamophobic rhetoric, attacks migrants and refugees and undermines judicial and media independence".

[43] During the campaign for the 2024 general election, he said that if he lived in certain constituencies, he would vote for the Reform UK candidate, including Nigel Farage in Clacton and Richard Tice in Boston and Skegness.
