The risk here is the politicisation of the data. There is no reason whatsoever for the PM's office, his advisors, or anybody in any political party to receive detailed information - anonymised or otherwise - about government services.
We have a civil service - this is their job, their responsibilty, and their mandate.
The haste with which Cummings (who has refused to answer questions from parliamentarians about his role in the Vote Leave criminal enterprise) demands this data suggests that this is a cynical grab for data which may be useful in an election or to target ads at Brexit supporting users / businesses.
This is politicisation of civil service data. The Conservative party does not own this data, and should not and must not receive it.
