        @BBCBreaking - will it be a paid job? Will it be on the books and require Seb Coe to pay taxes? Why is job not being advertised? #equality

        @RevPaulCA @JohnHurr @BBCBreaking As I've said before, why is Paralympics separate from Olympics? Remploy not allowed to be separate!

        @BBCBreaking Surely this is just a made up job? Yet more money for a politician to do very little?
