It was always highly unlikely that anyone was going to get LHR slots for Summer 2021 right from the off.
For Winter 2020, those airlines like Rwandair, Ukraine, China Airlines and Eastern who secured slots have been given these without grandfather rights attached. As the "use it or lose it" rule has been suspended through a slot waiver, airlines at Heathrow can hand back their slots but still protect their long-term access to them. Those slots are then being handed out on a short-term basis.
For Summer 2021, it is not clear whether there will be any change to the use it or lose it rule. Every airline has reclaimed the slots to which they hold grandfather rights and so Heathrow (as of now) is technically full for Summer 2021. Of course, there will be a lot of airlines either hoping for a slot waiver or going into deals with other airlines to babysit slots for them. None of those will be visible at this point in time.
What you see now and where things end up for Summer 2021 LHR slots will be two very different pictures.

Loganair applied for 138 LHR slots (some would be for IOM, maybe NQY and then possibly LBA and/or MME?)

Eastern applied for MME-LHR and LBA-LHR.
Loganair applied for DND-LHR (which I think they always do?), IOM-LHR and NQY.-LHR.
You can change destinations pretty easily so I wouldn't take it as gospel that's what these are. Eastern's LBA-LHR could easily be covering NQY and Loganair's NQY-LHR could easily be covering MME and none of us would be any the wiser until or unless this ever sees the light of day.

TEES Valley Mayor Ben Houchen has welcomed the announcement from Government that Teesside International Airport will receive a slice of £100million being made available to support airports as they recover from coronavirus.
The £471,000 grant, which is the equivalent to the Business Rates that the airport would have paid in 2020-21, means Teesside Airport will pay nothing in Business Rates next year - helping to protect jobs and the local economy.
