And true to form, a several billion pound project has been approved for London, while Cornwall's post-Brexit replacement for the current 100m pa EU grant will be 10m.
    Ah, I read about that, for a 3 year period starting a few months ago britain will only give cornwall 18 million.

    I notice you forgot to mention that for the majority of those three years the EU funding wont be interrupted by brexit.

    Any UK funding for those three years would be adding extra on top of the 60 million the EU will give it each year.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
