Cummings is a self-serving, despicable piece of work, but notwithstanding, even if the motivation for the evidence he brought to the select committee is nothing other than covering his own back and/or stabbing is former /colleagues' in the back once they ceased to be of use to him his does not in anyway diminish the chain of incompetence, corruption and possible criminal negligence by the Prime Minister and his government and cohorts.

If the outcome is that Johnson and his cronies are finally brought to book for wilful ignorance and inaction leading to thousands of needless deaths, and the extended periods of lockdown we have had to suffer, then it is all for the good of society.
