Don't believe it - that's what GCHQ is for and loads of people work there.
It's clearly not a CT operation just because Special Branch is involved. Although the Special Branch is probably most closely associated with CT activities it's remit is actually wider. Wikipedia to thank once more for the description that the Special Branch role is to:
help protect the public (and the state) from national security threats, including terrorism, separatism, subversion and other extremist activity and as such forms part of the United Kingdom intelligence community.
Of course we could make the case the the whole point of political parties is a sort of licensed subversion.
