@andyofthings I may be wrong. My judgement is simply that a Norway-style relationship looks politically achievable sooner than full EU membership. If that’s the case, I’d rather take a realistic step forward than wait for the perfect outcome.

Back in London to join today’s #RejoinEU march. My view remains simple: drop the red lines, rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union, and rebuild a closer UK–EU relationship from there.

Freedom of movement is the reddest of Keir Starmer's red lines for his #Brexit reset. Yet, only 18% of voters actually oppose FoM, according to this new @ObserverUK poll, and hardly any of those are Labour voters. (1/3)

@andyofthings I don’t disagree on the destination. My point is that majorities are built step by step. Dropping the red lines is politically achievable long before full membership.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

@JohnCotton @getinowherefast British citizens used to have direct access to live, work and study across the EU. That access was lost with Brexit.

@nicolegellson Democracy didn’t begin in 2016 and it didn’t end in 2016. The UK’s relationship with Europe will continue to be debated and decided through democratic elections. The peaceful competition of ideas is one of democracy’s strengths, not one of its weaknesses.

@JockyRocks Having moved from Germany to the UK and back again, I’d struggle to describe freedom of movement as imprisonment. It expanded my choices rather than restricting them.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

@JockyRocks “The EU is in decline” has been the argument for decades. Yet countries still queue up to join. That doesn’t prove the EU is perfect, but it suggests membership is still seen as an asset. I hope the UK will one day agree.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Whoever is Prime Minister when the jostling is done, one thing is clear: Labour must drop their harmful red lines on Brexit.

Times have changed. It’s time to forge a bold new relationship with Europe.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

@JockyRocks Why? Because all available evidence suggests that Single Market participation brings more trade, more investment, fewer barriers for businesses and citizens, and a closer partnership with the market right next door.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

@getinowherefast At the cost of making a financial contribution, much like Norway does. In return, the UK would regain far better access to the Single Market. Full EU membership is a separate question; my point is that dropping the red lines should come first.

@KaiXCreator #Changelists for #git - like in subversion but more powerful.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

I've released git-cl, an open source #Git subcommand that brings #changelist support to Git workflows. Organise your working directory files by intent before staging or committing.
📦 Single-file Python tool
🔧 Zero dependencies beyond Git

@claudeai My project: #Changelists for #git

Code first — branch later.

Organise your working tree by intent, then promote your changes to a dedicated branch after the code is written.

@Akasheth_ Meet git-cl, the CLI tool offering a #PreStagingArea via #Git changelists.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

Realised mid-work that your changes deserve their own branch?

git cl branch feature-name

Stashes everything, creates a new branch, unstashes only that #changelist. Your groupings stay intact, no manual coordination needed.

Stell dir vor, morgen ist zu spät und heute reicht noch.

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

Standard git stash is all-or-nothing. git-cl lets you stash individual changelists:

git cl stash experimental
git checkout feature-branch
# Work on other things
git cl unstash experimental

Resume exactly where you left off, with context preserved. #git #developertools

[Björn Fock @bhf_de]

git-cl makes file-level partial #Git commits intuitive:

1. Group related files into changelists
2. Stage and commit one #changelist at a time
3. Keep unrelated work separate

Commit entire files by logical purpose, not by when you edited them.

@milan_milanovic @Milan_Milanovic Great list!

Add `git cl br` (from git-cl):
Stash all changelists → create branch → unstash your changelist.
One command for clean feature branches.
