Tim Montgomerie quits Sunday Telegraph column over diary attacks

An update on the catfight between the Daily Telegraph's Mandrake columnist, Tim Walker, and editor of Conservative Home, Tim Montgomerie – and no, it's not another attack in Monday's paper. Montgomerie has quit his column at the Sunday Telegraph, in protest at its daily sister paper's attacks last week. Monkey hears that Montgomerie's ire is not with the Sunday Telegraph, but with publisher Telegraph Media Group and Daily Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher. Montgomerie claims he got Gallagher's back up by daring to criticise the newspaper's choice of front page lead a fortnight ago. Can't they all just get along?
