Huffington Post is not "right wing press."

"Labour is facing a fresh row over anti-semitism after the party failed to publish a full report into claims of misconduct by Oxford University students.

Baroness Royall's inquiry into Oxford University Labour Club (OULC) found no evidence of "institutional anti-semitism", but she stressed that the party faces "difficulties" in providing a "safe space" for Jewish students.

And the former Cabinet minister made clear in a blog that "there is too often a culture of intolerance where Jews are concerned and there are clear incidents of antisemitism".

In a hint that her own conclusions had been misrepresented by the party, Baroness Royal told the Jewish Labour Movement that she shared its 'disappointment and frustration' that her findings of incidents of anti-semitism were not getting enough attention."
