Missing Tory Eastleigh by-election candidate Maria Hutchings turns up at US auction

(satire – probably)

A Tory candidate who vanished from a by-election hustings in Eastleigh has been found listed for sale at a US auction site.

The candidate Maria Hutchings – who is depicted as a clueless woman draped in Union Jack bunting with her foot in her mouth – disappeared from the middle of a by-election campaign this week.

She is now for sale in Miami, with an estimate of $220 – $352.

Local Conservative Party activists said there is “lots of anger” at the removal, and is campaigning for the candidate’s return.

A local councillor said residents noticed tarpaulins being put up by Conservative Party officials around the candidate last Wednesday when they began to suspect if they had any chance of winning the by-election, she might need to be completely removed from public view:

The scaffolding and tarpaulins came down on Friday, and on Saturday residents noticed that, where Maria Hutching had been, there was now just an empty hole in the wall.

In a statement, the auctioneers in Miami Fine Art Auctions, described the candidate as a “crude, one-dimensional cartoon Tory primitively rendered in stencil and spray paint with additional jubilee bunting sticking out of her arse”.
