M People founder Mike Pickering has said the band are “livid” that their song was used by Prime Minister Liz Truss on stage.
Ms Truss walked on to the stage at the Conservative Party conference to their 1990s hit Moving On Up, which features vocalist Heather Small, ahead of delivering her keynote speech.
The dance anthem, which was released by the Manchester-based band in 1993, peaked at number two on the UK singles chart.
