Five things about Martin

• To relax I play golf for fun and chess competitively.
• One of my ventures is PostBug.com “social media you can hold” – it’s a web-based platform that lets groups of people send real paper letters and postcards to public figures.
• When the hum of the metropolis becomes too overwhelming I like to enjoy walking and stag-spotting on Exmoor.
• I live in West London with my partner, Claire Beale, the global editor of Campaign, and our two children.
• I believe opposite-sex couples should be able legally to enter into civil partnerships, so I am on the board of the campaign for equal civil partnerships for all.
