One of PA Media’s most active streams of news coverage comes from its politics team, headed up by Political Editor David Hughes.

With a revolving door of prime ministers, the Covid-19 crisis and its subsequent scandals, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and that’s before we even mention Brexit – there never appears to be a day’s rest for any political journalist and David and his team are no exception to that rule.

As the party conference season edges near, the UK’s main political parties will potentially go to their membership for one last time before the possible prospect of a general election next year. David and his team will of course be in the thick of it reporting on all the key stories – ahead of this, David gives us his take on the political landscape in the UK, what can we expect from party conference season, how politics coverage has evolved, and what an average day looks like for him at a party conference, plus much more.

Our minds love to be challenged and what better way to engage them with a riveting puzzle or brainteaser.

Where platforms and publications are of course interested in attracting readers and site traffic to their content – it’s vital to retain them and keep them for a long time, and for them to continually return for more content.

Puzzles can be that solution and PA Media are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of these types of products – piecing together content such as crosswords and sudokus, to pitcherwits and dingbats, creating these in both digital and print form for several platforms and publications.

Head of Puzzles Peter Stirling speaks more about what makes puzzles so popular, the demand for them post-lockdown, and what’s on the horizon for his department.
