Eleven lawmakers from Britain’s main opposition Labour Party have withdrawn their names from a statement criticising NATO over the Ukraine crisis.

The statement was issued on Feb. 18 by the “Stop The War Coalition,” a leftwing organisation that was initially launched to oppose U.S. military action in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
