My own guess is that once Durham police announced an investigation on Cummings' movements while he was supposed to be self-isolating the plan changed to him doing a mea culpa, saying sorry with a trembling lip/tear in his eye and asking the jury to take other offences into consideration. He'll be practicing how to look honest and sincere all afternoon.
If that's what happens, the upshot will be that he loses his "status" as a man unencumbered by any person or institution or orthodox code. If he's contrite, his "aura" flies out the window and he's lessened.

He knows it, and if he does come across like that it's a measure of just how much of a mess he's got himself and the government in.

The beginning of the end for him, either way now.
 
Under normal circumstances I’d agree, but we’re now living in an age of zero accountability. With an election not due for years they could just do as they please and the public will have forgotten. He’s not going anywhere just yet.
The Tories will stagger on, yes. But Cummings has relied on total mastery of the message to keep his own status high enough for others to be wary of him. If he's about to give a hand wringing performance that force field around him evaporates, and it's open season on him. Others will be back to chip even more of him away.
 
Think those expecting some sort of contrition or apologetic tone from DC today, are going to be disappointed.

I’m expecting a doubling down on having done nothing wrong, leaning heavily into the doting dad angle, and likely a full Trumpian attack on the press.

probably, though if he does that he and Johnson are going to get ruined

Aye. If he says something along the lines of ‘if being a good parent is a punishable offence, then I am guilty as charged’ I’m going to spew
