President Trump's "misleading" Covid post hidden by Twitter and deleted by Facebook bbc.in/3d2fIFS

What we know and - significantly - don’t know about migration to the UK. Why the official stats have been downgraded and why we need to catch up with other countries’ ways of counting people in and out. Excellent analysis from @BBCDomC #Immigration
