At the same time it's important to note the device of journalistic disingenuity employed here to ensure the article fits the Nat's position throughout - "The BBC was approached for a comment". This means someone asked the BBC for a comment and deliberately didn't wait for a reply before publishing.

And looking at the article more closely the journalist cited is Alex Andreou, who works for the Byline Times. The comment they have from the political editor of Byline Times is therefore from his boss, meaning they aren't independent sources. See how easy it is to get around the two-source rule?
