I want to be a delivery partner

Want to know the most interesting thing about the admitted rise in the Olympic budget? (There are other rises, too, but Tessa Jowell won't admit them, and is hoping we won't notice) .

All is explained in this BBC Q&A

£400 million of the amount they've gone over budget with is to pay for a "delivery partner" - a firm who will ensure they don't go further over budget.

I can't quite get my head round that - but I've decided I'd like to be a delivery partner too. Pay me £400 million and I'll explain to you how you could have saved it. But don't expect your money back.

Paul Deighton speaks

In October Paul Deighton, chief executive of the London Olympics Organising Committee, told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee: "We are certainly confident at this stage that the sources of revenue are sufficient to leave us at the organising committee with revenues that will match our expected expenditure.
In November they realised that they hadn't included VAT in their accounts.
Are these people fit to run the cake stall at a church bazaar, let alone a multi-billion pound international project with tight deadlines which will humiliate Britain when it fails?
