Hello
Liz Truss raised a few eyebrows when she walked on stage at Tory Conference to the sound of M People’s Moving On Up this morning. The band’s lead singer Heather Small - whose son is a Labour councillor - has been a fierce critic of the government’s policy to send refugees to Rwanda.
Her son James Small-Edwards, who is a councillor in west London tweeted: “An apt choice! This tired and out of touch Tory Government is indeed moving on out”.
Meanwhile former Haçienda DJ Mike Pickering - who founded the Manchester-based band - insists he does not support the use of his song. “So apparently we can't stop Truss walking out to our song, very weird! So sad it got used by this shower of a government. BTW Truss labour used it with permission in 90's. I don't want my song being a soundtrack to lies,” he tweeted.
He told Press Association the entire band are ‘livid’ at the PM's use of the song, which he claims was done without seeking their permission. "Heather’s boy James is a Labour councillor. Hopefully most people will know that they have pirated it off us. She won’t be around to use it again for very long, I would imagine."
The Prime Minister spoke of making ‘difficult but necessary’ choices to achieve economic growth during her speech today. She insisted ‘we must stay the course’ in pursuit of her three priorities: ‘Growth, growth and growth’.
But no doubt it’ll be money, money, money at the forefront of most Manunians’ minds. Especially as Ms Truss is considering a benefits rise in line
