"[27] On 24 February 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ribeiro-Addy was one of 11 Labour MPs threatened with losing the party whip after they signed a statement by the Stop the War Coalition, which questioned the legitimacy of NATO and accused the military alliance of "eastward expansion".
