Cornwall was a full-on liberal, very woke and cynical about the state despite being one of its minions. He was always on TV berating Tony Blair or the tories. He had this in common with very many of the junior ranks of MI5/6 with whom there was a great divide with the upper echelons who were loyal cynical establishment servants. It's difficult to imagine him knowingly serving as the propaganda arm of MI6.
