Chancellor announces 12 'potential Canary Wharfs' across the UK

The Chancellor said the Government would deliver 12 new investment zones, which he labelled “12 potential Canary Wharfs”.
He said: “In England we have identified the following areas as having the potential to host one: West Midlands, Greater Manchester, the North East, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Midlands, Teesside and, once again, Liverpool.
“There will also be at least one in each of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.”

"12 new investment zones" You mean like the 40 new hospitals?

[@guff9567]

Hospitals only encourage people to be sicker

[@fritzhenning1]

Are these in addition to the proposed Freeports? £80 million shared between 12 areas doesn't buy you very much.

They should build a Canary Wharf in Milton Keynes….they’ve got plenty of space. Have they finished building it yet?

[@stephenwalker2924]

'Potential' means 11 out of the 12 will definitely not happen. Making Northern towns and cities and their poor communities fight each other as we have to beg for crumbs from the swell Tory table yet again.
