I already answered that: He's the perfect foil. To the opposing side he's seen as the bogeyman, the pantomime villain, the wicked witch of the West, etc. It deflects some of the ire away from Johnson. Were Cummings to go, then that shield is gone, Bozza is exposed like the Wizard of Oz without his curtain.If he isn't that important, why on earth would Boris be sticking his neck out to widespread criticism - including from within his own party - to save him? That really makes less sense.
