Jam Tomorrow looks at Politics: The Next Generation.
K.Biswas and Rys Farthing are joined by the leading experts from the current generation of young politicos, including feminist blogger Laurie Penny; founder of Liberal Conspiracy and Pickled Politics Sunny Hundal; Editor of Left Foot Forward Will Straw; environmental campaigner Joss Garman; and Chair of Young Labour and Hope not Hate activist Sam Tarry.
Too often young people are chastised as the harbingers of a democratic deficit, and simultaneously as heralding the birth of new forms of democracy, notably in the electronic realm – is the truth somewhere in between, and can this new form of politics bring about lasting social change?
With a decidedly male body politic and women’s issues marginalised to ‘women’s hour’, we explore what the upcoming election could mean for women. Joining Biz and Rys in the studio are Bronwyn McKenna from Unison, Caroline Lucas Leader of the Green Party, with comments from Kate Bell from Gingerbread, Lynne Featherstone of the Liberal Democrats, Pauline Lucas Chair of the Conservative Women’s Organisation, and long-time Labour supporter Gemma Tumelty.
Paul Richards, Katharine Hibbert, Joe Kassman-Tod and guests discuss politicians’ promises and the crucial issues driving the 2010 election campaigns. This week they look at arts and culture policy with critic J.J.Charlesworth and the artist Bob & Roberta Smith. Hibbert, Kassman-Tod and Richards also reflect on the second electoral TV debate.

A dissection of what the upcoming general election means for Human Rights in the UK.
With the persistent focus on ‘fairness’, ‘efficiency’ and ‘helicopters’, this show applies a different lens. We will look at what this election means for a very real issue – what will the upcoming election mean for Human Rights in the UK?
With the major parties pledging to either strengthen, retain and repeal British human rights protections, this is our chance to discuss the real difference between conflicting viewpoints.
Joining us in the studio we have legendary political activist, Peter Tatchell, and Anita Coles from civil liberties organisation, Liberty. We also have contributions from leading human rights academic Professor Conor Gearty of the LSE and Matrix Chambers, and Katie Ghose, Director of the British Institute of Human Rights.
Presented by K. Biswas and Rys Farthing
