Once editor of Living Marxism, he has contributed to The Times (London) and is editor-at-large of Spiked, the online magazine.

Mick Hume was the editor of LM Magazine (which he launched, originally as Living Marxism, in 1988) until it was forced to close in 2000 after losing a libel suit brought by ITN over claims that the magazine had made concerning ITN's reporting of Bosnia's Trnopolje camp.

A lifelong Manchester United fan and season ticket holder, Hume contributes to the United fanzine Red Issue with his 'View from the Smoke' column.
