ConservativeHome
ConservativeHome is a politically conservative news website and events company. It was first established by Tim Montgomerie in 2005 with the aim of arguing for a broad conservative spectrum, which is serious about both social justice and a fair competitive economy. A second aim of the blog is to represent grassroots Conservatives, and is independent of, but supportive of, the Conservative Party.
ConservativeHome was first edited by Tim Montgomerie, prior to the 2005 United Kingdom general election campaign. In November 2008, Jonathan Isaby joined as a co-editor. In 2009, Paul Goodman – the former Conservative MP for Wycombe – became the executive editor of ConservativeHome.
In February 2013, Montgomerie announced that he would leave the site in April of the same year to become comment editor of The Times. Goodman succeeded him as editor, and Mark Wallace joined the site as executive editor in May 2013. In January 2020 it was announced that Wallace would become the website's Chief Executive.
In 2022, Wallace became Chief Executive of Total Politics Group, owner of ConservativeHome, with Angus Parsad-Wyatt succeeding him as Chief Executive of ConservativeHome.
In 2024, following Paul Goodman's appointment to the House of Lords, Giles Dilnot was appointed editor of ConservativeHome.
The site took a leading role in co-ordinating grassroots support in opposing Michael Howard's attempt to abolish the "one man one vote" rule in the 2005 Conservative Party leadership election.
ConservativeHome was critical of the A list and believed that former Conservative Party Leader David Cameron was in danger of alienating working class Conservative voters, and pressed Cameron for specific pledges on tax cuts.
It was credited with the most accurate record of MP affiliation during the 2005 Conservative Leadership election, and it also was the first to reveal the names on the "A-list" of candidates. The Conservative chairman Francis Maude described it during the leadership election as "the only place to find out what's going on".
