Labour plan for airborne deterrent?

In the Daily Mail today, evidently Labour are looking at replacing Trident with an airborne deterrent once again. The suggestion being about 135 F-35Cs launched from air bases on land and the Carriers?

Personally, I understand the carriers to be out of the question for the F-35C!

Also, nice idea as it sounds to someone with an aviation bias I'm sure nobody can regard it as a step in the right direction regarding the stealth argument in favour of the Submarine!?

Lib Dems also keen on the idea.
