Last week I had my last day @NationalWorld. I’m very proud of the reporting I’ve done over the past near year and a half, and am grateful to the wonderful people I’ve worked with - particularly @RalphBlackburn, who has taught me so much & supported me the whole way through. (1/2)

Despite these misunderstandings though, Red Cross' research also shows that the majority of Brits (87%) believe the UK should offer refuge to people fleeing war, conflict, and persecution. Meanwhile, nearly half (43%) of people say the UK should take "at least our fair share".
