Timothy Montgomerie (born 24 July 1970) is a British political activist, blogger, and columnist. He is best known as the co-founder of the Centre for Social Justice and as creator of the ConservativeHome website, which he edited from 2005 until 2013, when he left to become the comment editor at The Times. He resigned his position at The Times in March 2014. In 2009, Daniel Finkelstein described Montgomerie as "one of the most important Conservative activists of the past 20 years", and in February 2012, The Observer said that "In the eyes of most MPs, Montgomerie [is] one of the most influential Tories outside the cabinet." In 2019, Montgomerie was briefly a special adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, advising on social justice issues. In December 2024, he quit the Conservative Party and joined Reform UK. He was suspended from the party in August 2026, and left the following month.
