I remain quarantined in Hubei, safe but unsure how long I’m stuck here. This is my @nybooks story. Spoiler alert: the UK abandons me at the end. nybooks.com/daily/2020/02/… #coronaviruschina #nCoV19

Remainers and Leavers alike have been caught off-guard by the strength of feeling aroused. And it’s not even remotely fanciful to imagine that the schism within Britain will haunt the polity for decades By ⁦@ziahaiderrahman⁩ in ⁦@NYRDaily⁩ nybooks.com/daily/2019/03/…
