The press regulator has ordered the Telegraph to print a correction

Unfortunately, Boris was in fact right.

"IPSO has forced The Telegraph to amend a column Boris wrote in January
in which he suggested No Deal was the most popular option with the
public. A Remainer academic from Reading University complained to IPSO
extraordinarily hysterically saying that Boris column was clearly out
of the Trump/Bannon playbook. The piece has now been amended to say

In fact, no poll clearly showed that a no-deal Brexit was more
popular than the other options. This correction is being published
following a complaint upheld by the Independent Press Standards
Organisation.

IPSO is mistaken on this point, IPSO clearly didnt look at this Opinium
poll just before Boris wrote his column and as reported at the time by
the BBC:"

So its just more political witch huntin by remoaners.,

Like the 'did leave overspend illegally' which the judge decided they
did (accidentally) *after being advised to by the same body that then
accused them*.
