Did Downing St offer a job to Tim Montgomerie?

Amid rumblings about the government machine, the rumour reaches FT Westminster that Downing Street approached Tim Montgomerie – editor of the ConservativeHome blog – to join the ship. But he said no.

Montgomerie, a former aide to Iain Duncan Smith, is an influential figure in the party who understands its internal mechanics as well as anyone. He has also become rather critical of the Tory hierarchy in recent months; making it obvious why the government might want him inside the tent, facing outwards.
