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.
Beacuse it merely cut and pastd from an opinion poll.
You are always claiming the BBC is iomparetuial, so why would you
dispute that anyway?

The poll doesn't actually ask if no deal is preferred over the other
options, only if its prefered to May's deal.
You know this but still claim it backs Boris's claim that the public
backs a no deal more, it doesn't say that which is why it wasn't used as
evidence to back Boris's misinformation.
