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:"

You have cast* aspersions at reporting by the BBC accusing it of bias
throughout the time of the Brexit debate if not before* so why should we
believe it is credible because this time you happen to want to use a
report
by them to support your P.O.V.
Normally anything from the BBC you immediately shout down so why
should we
believe it this time.
You mean you don't believe the BBC report as quoted by TNP above?
TNP doesn't he keeps telling us the BBC always lie about brexit.
