I am not sure what is going on with cummings, before the election I got the impression his influence was to keep boris from devolving into wet-ness, after the election I cannot say how much of that is still true, what with the rehabilitation of a number of the remainers, the mansion tax, the huawei idiocy and the empowering of ofcom.
Then again for the last one its not like the wets have a monopoly on censorship, just greater opportunities last 10 years.
Only thing I do think is happening is he's being used as a hate sink: someone who is safer to criticize without fear of being seen to directly attack the PM. How much he deserves that criticism I dont know.
