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*.
Hum. The non-leave without a deal vote was split by 5 other options. Now
find a poll where there is a straight choice: leave no deal or remain.
I like Boris but think he would make a poor PM.
