Reserving judgement on how much is the truth but if he is spouting BS, he is very, very good at it. If he is lying, I would expect a swift call out of this by the Prime Minister any minute now...
Someone (@garius) I follow on Twitter put it quite well (imho)

Something to remember about Cummings, if you are listening to this testimony:

He's NOT a mastermind. He IS someone who THINKS he's a mastermind.

That means he's not "spinning" here. But he IS an unreliable narrator.

So everything he's saying is what he THINKS is true.

That means a lot of it IS true, but some of it will only be PARTIALLY true. Think Star Wars or Game of Thrones (the book).

It's all true from his point of view or perspective, which he assumes - because he thinks he's always the smartest person in the room - is the ONLY view.
