Labour has welcomed the launch of an immediate investigation into allegations of antisemitic behaviour and intimidation at Oxford University's Labour Club.

Jewish students at Oxford University revealed a list of what they say are examples of antisemitism within the university's Labour club.

The university's Jewish Society claims Labour-supporting students backed Hamas terrorists' efforts to kill Jews, sang about rockets over Tel Aviv, and discussed "an international Jewish conspiracy".

The Labour Students group launched the investigation today.
