Selwyn Fellow Ken Coutts, along with former Fellow Graham Gudgin, published a UK economic forecast report in
December, taking issue with the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) for the way they do their forecasts, and coming up
with a less optimistic view about economic prospects. You can download the report here href="http://www.cbr.cam.ac.uk/publications/special-reports/"

    Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billström gave a talk at Selwyn on April 16th about why his country has joined NATO. He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
