I've heard they have let standards and personnel with the necessary expertise slip so much with regard to the missiles and the specific materials tech they use, that they are unable to maintain them in working condition. So the state of the stockpile and how reliable they would be (in the event they were used) are in question.
Looking at how the nation is failing in all walks, social, financial, borders etc it should not come as a surprise.

He clearly implies he does know this little known facet of the UK "independent nuclear deterrent"
