Why is there never any HSJ coverage of the hedge funds that control Circle Holdings plc, and the fact that these funds are owned by individuals who have donated six figure sums to the Conservative party in recent years?

With the huge sums at stake long term, the annual losses mentioned in this article appear chickenfeed.

For example, Lansdown Partners own 29% of Circle Holdings and whose founder, 'Sir' Paul Ruddock has donated over £690,000 to the Conservatives.

And we wonder why some people believe there is an agenda to marketise the NHS.
