should have got Bombardier to dust of the plans of the Belfast and put more modern engines on it!
You mean like the Europrop TP400-600? (Hint - what is it that's holding up the A-400M's long-delayed first flight?)

(Perhaps I should add that I'm a great Belfast fan, having been the Last Flt Cdr Ops on 53.)

But, slightly more seriously - baby-spice - please do enlighten us as to the source of your scoop
Project cancelled, expect ministerial announcement sometime in July (prob 17th).
If that were to be true, I believe it would be catastrophic for the British armed forces and any pretensions they might still have to global power projection.
