Leavers fear the UK’s chief Brexit negotiator will make a “huge error” and agree a deal which sets the UK back as Ms Truss and Mr Sefcovic meet in London.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the talks Tory peer Lord Moylan warned: “Huge error if Liz Truss agrees a deal with EU on 21 February that settles the points that embarrass the EU (eg starving NI of medicines) and leaves UK objections for future talks. The Theresa May mistake all over again. There’ll be complete loss of confidence in her at home.”
The talks come just a day after Ms Truss travelled to Moscow for talks with foreign secretary Sergei Lavrov over the Ukraine crisis.<\/p>\n
