Liz Truss angers M People star by using Moving on Up as walk on music 'without permission'

M People star Mike Pickering has hit out Liz Truss, after the prime minister used the group's classic track Movin' On Up as her walk on music at the Conservative Party conference.

In a speech that was broadcast across the country from the event in Birmingham, the new PM, who has been in the high profile job for a month now, assured her fellow Tories and those watching at home that she 'had their back,' amidst mounting pressure for her to get to grips with the cost of living crisis.

While Teresa May infamously once sashayed onto stage to ABBA's Dancing Queen it was M People's 1994 iconic hit Movin on Up, the Brit winners' most famous songs, that Truss chose as her soundtrack as she prepared to address her packed audience, with the words 'Getting Britain Moving' behind her.
