Hopefully they've finally turned the corner on this shameful episode.

Let’s hope.

How much is it really about cleaning up the anti-semitism vs just being the most effective tactic at hand for use in intraparty factional struggle?

I'm not sure - Keir Starmer is a moderate within the party, and I imagine both the devout Corbyn and his equally devout followers must be a royal PITA as he tries to make the party electable again.

I never felt that Corbyn was actually anti-Semitic himself, but I don't think he took the problem seriously. I always felt that Corbyn's real problem was that he wasn't very bright.
