Christian councillor returns

A Tory councillor, who was suspended in July after tweeting ‘Pride is not a virtue but a sin’, has been reinstated after an investigation into alleged misconduct by the local council standards committee.

King Lawal (see photo), a North Northamptonshire councillor – who is still reportedly under investigation by Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) – was also ‘cancelled’ by several other organisations after expressing his Biblical beliefs on social media.

Following his suspension, Lawal was preparing to take legal action; and 27,777 people had signed a petition called for the Conservative Party chair to ensure he was reinstated.
