He obviously doesn't 'owe' anyone an apology.
However, fundamentally he's part of a Government that has broken it's bond of trust with the people. That's why 52% - a clear majority if I recall - of Leave voters think he should resign and it's only the politicised Conservative voter base (who understand his importance to the party) resisting the public majority.
That trust is bought, and lost, through being honest with people and delivering on promises.
The Government asked the public to act in good faith, adhering to behaviours it did not mandate in regulations but only in guidance. Cummings clearly has acted in bad faith, in contravention of the guidance and pushed the limit (or exceeded) the 'reasonableness' in legislation.
Either because he thinks rules should not apply to him, or because he made an error of judgement. One of those two scenarios plays out better with the public than the other, I'm amazed such an amazing political strategist has gone for the wrong one.
Edit: separate comment I'm enjoying Seph's patriotism with blue and red test on white backgrounds.
