2016: a photo diary

Steve Eason

Photojournalist Steve Eason presents his year in pictures.

My 2016, in 38 chronological pictures, as a London-based lefty photographer contributing to rs21 and other websites.

The year of the Junior doctors strike, Corbyn-mania, far-right marches, The Panama Papers, Another Europe is Possible, Brexit, protests at Byron, Topshop and wildcat strikes at Deliveroo and Uber Eats. It felt like a year where most of the protests I attended were not, in practice, well-supported by the traditional organised left. The exception to this would be the Stand Up To Racism demonstrations. 

International solidarity was important in 2016 – I’ve included pictures marking the anniversary of the Syrian revolution, in support of the HDP in Turkey, and protesting the fall of Aleppo.

Includes images published by rs21, Socialist Resistance, Socialist Worker US (ISO), Red Pepper, Jacobin, Another Europe Is Possible and Counterfire.
