If they gave Liverpool a partial award I don't get why some areas have been excluded altogether. Surely every area should have got something, even if the funding didn't stretch far enough to give every area as much as it would have liked.

It also seems they have made Cornwall a trial area for certain improvements and financial incentives. I don't get that when Cornwall's actually benefitted from restrictions on international travel by getting a considerable number of additional domestic tourists. A city region, like Sheffield that's missed out, will have lost a considerable amount due to people who used to commute in to the city instead working from home or being furloughed.
