Bruce Whitehead, who stood for Labour in Almond ward at last year’s local elections, posted and then deleted an appeal to the pro-Corbyn Democracy Roadshow: “Can you come to Edinburgh? We need help in @EdSoCLP.”

Mr Murray then tweeted: “Deleting your tweet just makes you even more gutless. Maybe you can keep hissing at me when I walk into meetings and talk of my deselection.

“By the way, my team and I are out almost every weekend campaigning in South. U should try it. It’s called winning.”

Mr Murray has in the past made outspoken criticisms of Jeremy Corbyn.
