"On Thursday, The Herald revealed that Mr Sheridan's opponents intend to block his return to Holyrood as an SSP MSP by denying him the necessary top spot on the party's regional list in Glasgow.The city's largest branch, Kelvin, also passed a motion of no confidence in him as an SSP MSP.
Last night it emerged that the Tay Coast branch had passed a motion declaring the SSP "unfit for the purpose for which it was founded", and described Mr Sheridan's behaviour as "enough to damn him in the eyes of any decent person".
Alan McCombes, SSP policy coordinator, said a state of "total war" now existed between Mr Sheridan and the party's executive committee."We are not going to be intimidated by thuggish insults or rants on the TV. We are not going to be silenced either. We are going to win this," he said."
Sad to say, but the SSP is a one man band. Its putative luminaries - such as Mr McCombes - may wish it were otherwise, but they are whistling in the dark. Without Mr Sheridan, it will lose all its seats at next May's election.
