'I don't want my song being the soundtrack to lies': M People founder hits out at Liz Truss for taking to stage to band's 90s classic 'Moving On Up' that was sung by Labour councillor's mother
  • 2 years ago
Liz Truss took to the stage for her Tory conference speech this morning to 'Moving On Up' by M People - sung by the mother of a Labour councillor. The Prime Minister chose the 1990s classic tune ahead of her first conference speech as Tory leader, as she attempted to turn around her faltering premiership. The choice of 'Moving On Up' soon raised eyebrows as critics pored over the song's lyrics - while one founder of the band said it was 'sad' to see it used by 'this shower of a Government'. It was also swiftly noted how the son of M People's lead singer, Heather Small, is a Labour councillor on Westminster City Council. James Small-Edwards, who represents the Bayswater ward, quipped that Ms Truss had made an 'apt choice'. 'This tired and out of touch Tory Government is indeed moving on out,' he added.
