Chancellor accused of 'deception' after changing qualifications
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been accused of "deception" after it emerged that he changed his qualifications on his official website.
In a statement, the Chancellor said that he had "made a mistake" and that he had "updated his website to reflect his correct qualifications."
The Chancellor's website previously stated that he had a first-class degree in economics from the University of Oxford. However, it has now been revealed that he actually has a 2:1 degree.
The Chancellor's spokesperson said that he had "made a genuine mistake" and that he had "apologized for any confusion."
However, the Chancellor's critics have accused him of "deception" and have called for him to resign.
The Labour Party has said that the Chancellor's actions are "unacceptable" and that he should "come clean about his qualifications."
The Liberal Democrats have said that the Chancellor's actions are "a disgrace" and that he has "lost the trust of the public."
The Chancellor's supporters have defended his actions, saying that he is a "hard-working and dedicated public servant."
The Chancellor has not commented on the allegations.
