Christian Councillor Suspended After Tweeting ‘Pride Is Not a Virtue but a Sin’

A Christian councillor who tweeted “Pride is not a virtue but a sin” is being investigated by Conservative headquarters.

King Lawal, a Northamptonshire councillor, has been suspended from the Conservative Party and said he has been “cancelled” by six other organisations after expressing his religious beliefs on social media.

Responding to images of pride parades organised by LGBT groups at the end of last month, he wrote: “When did Pride become a thing to celebrate. Because of Pride Satan fell as an arch Angel. Pride is not a virtue but a Sin. Those who have Pride should Repent of their sins and return to Jesus Christ. He can save you. #PrideMonth #Pride23 #PrideParade.’”

The post included an image with a verse from Isaiah 3 verse 9, which said: “Whatever God calls ‘Sin’ is nothing to be Proud of.”

Cllr Lawal, 31, said that soon after posting the tweet he was suspended by the local Conservative group, pending an investigation involving CCHQ. (Read more from “Christian Councillor Suspended After Tweeting ‘Pride Is Not a Virtue but a Sin’” HERE)
