So enjoyed being out with the camera for the Guernsey Rally this weekend. Such a well-run event and such a friendly community around it. Here’s to many more. We’ll have full coverage in Monday’s @guernseypress.com, for now here’s the top local crew in action - Craig Robert and Chris Guille 👏

🎙️ Matt Fallaize is joined by Alderney’s two representatives in the States of Guernsey, Alex Snowdon and recent poll-topper Edward Hill, to talk about the future of its airport, the shape of its politics and the relationship between the islands. Listen: podfollow.com/gppoliticspod

What better way to celebrate the Cliches pod's fifth birthday than to get @cdeccleshare.bsky.social to give us five seconds on each PL club in his generic football pundit voice? Seriously, it's Bafta-worthy stuff. You must listen. (We somehow missed Everton, of all the clubs 😩) pod.fo/e/2a2804

With Guernsey and Jersey rugby set to join forces for an ‘international’ against Sweden in May, we’ve been speaking to former Sarnian coach Dave Wallace about the Channel Islands select side he helped bring together back in 2003 🎙️

Big fan of this concept.

Really excited to share the insight of over 800 grassroots venues on the artists they recommend you go see this year Massive thanks to @markdavyd.bsky.social and the @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social trust team for rallying these venues at short notice and @seetickets.bsky.social for sponsoring

One of my favourite Newcastle players and one of my favourite Newcastle nights.

Making the most of this.

Plenty in today’s edition about the Red Cross ship the SS Vega, which arrived in St Peter Port 80 years ago today and saved countless islanders from starvation. Four pages today and lots more to come in the next few days.

A new ‘political movement’ promising to put policy before personality, Matt Fallaize speaks to Future Guernsey founders Lindsey Freeman and Gavin St Pier following its launch event last night 🎙️

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.

Nice out.

Matt Fallaize and James Falla join @tonycurr.bsky.social to review day one of this week’s meeting, which saw Deputy Neil Inder answer questions about the ferry tender process and some robust exchanges between members over Alderney’s relationship with Guernsey.

It is so incredibly nice to have a social platform that values links again - a breath of fresh air in the poisoned ecosystem of the creator economy

James Falla and Matt Fallaize look ahead to this week’s States meeting.

They should have called this site AFC Twitter
