The Telegraph went out on a limb in defending Johnson - why?

The COVID inquiry has asked Boris Johnson: "How did meetings with newspaper editors on September 18-23 [2020] affect the decision not to impose a second lockdown".
These are the meetings in question...
Sunak looks less like Norman Wisdom and more like a man with something to hide: The eyes aren’t sparkling and there’s a shiftiness here as Sunak tries to dodge awkward questions about his wife’s Russian business interests. Pillow talks are talks.

BJ “No Mr. Speaker”….

Downing St denied in the strongest terms Boris Johnson ever said “let the bodies like high”, in rejecting a lockdown. But his close ally and friend Eddie Lister has today confirmed he did say it. Just another example of how trust between government and media/public was undermined…
Sir Patrick Vallance tells select committee that SAGE advised lockdown a full week before government activated those measures. R was 3 by this point. Johnson has questions to answer.
