She turned. The river behind her. It framed her face, almost like a waterfall. In the intense rays of the sun, the drops of water became splinters of glass. Someone should say something. I tried to break the silence. Just then, the voice of the city arose: temple prayer bells and calls from the mosques to ask for God’s blessings. Voices in unison. From both sides of the river.

I also felt nervous. How could she be wispy and echoless, and at the same time, speak with such force? One’s composure falters.

This briefing uses the latest full-year data available at the time of writing, which, for this update, are typically for 2019. As such, COVID-19’s impact on migration trends and the data used to measure them are not explored in this briefing. Estimates on international migration are generated by the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) using the International Passenger Survey (IPS), which collects information from travellers entering and exiting the UK at its airports, seaports and the Channel tunnel. The IPS asks travellers arriving in the UK how long they intend to stay. People who say they are moving to the UK for at least a year are counted as long-term migrants. Long-term migration estimates are therefore based on people’s migration intentions. The IPS also collects data from people as they leave, asking, if they are moving away from the UK, how long they had stayed. There are two categories of short-term migrants: those who lived in the UK for at least three months but less than a year (UN definition) and those who lived in the UK for between one month and one year. As opposed to long-term migration estimates, short-term migration estimates are based on how long people say they actually stayed when they leave. Short-term migration estimates also differ from long-term estimates in that they reflect the number of trips or stays, not the number of individuals, as the same person could make more than one short-term trip in a given year. The IPS was suspended in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerating ONS’ ‘transformation journey’ towards the production of migration estimates based on administrative data sources (see ONS, 2020).

The carpet too was from that era. It had a paisley design, an ancient aroma, and was nibbled at here and there by ancient mice. It extended through the lounge and down the hall, creaking up the old curved staircase as it spread ancient mustiness and allergens everywhere it went. A beautiful curving staircase it was, on the verge of collapse, but somehow preserved.
