They certainly have a similar demeanour in conversation which may be what you mean by "decent minded British Liberal" but on politics Russell was more of a communist in his early years (before he actually saw communism in action and was repulsed by it) and then became some form of classical liberal later in life.
Thank you for clearing that up, I am only familar with the later Russell who was in my view a social democrat.
