Moving On Up: M People founder angry song was used by PM
The use of Moving On Up as introductory music for the prime minster has left its creator " angry" and frustrated.
Liz Truss walked on to M People 's 1993 hit before addressing the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham earlier.
The Manchester group's founder Mike Pickering said he could not understand why The Party had used it, as he was known to be openly " anti-Tory" online.
He added that he hoped Ms Truss took note of the lyrics, as it was " about, 'go and pack your bags and Get Out '".
" I don't know why they have used it, " He Said .
" No-one said to them 'Tony Blair and new Labour used that song all The Time '. . or 'Mike is really vociferous on Twitter and Social Media about being an anti-Tory'. "
He also that he had been unable to stop the Conservatives using The Track and said he had " checked with legal and we can't stop them".
" If we'd have known, we could have sent a letter of cease and desist, " he added.
James Small-Edwards, a Labour councillor in Westminster and the son of The Group 's singer Heather Small , also tweeted about the use of The Song , calling it " an apt choice".
