Britain's top Brexit negotiator is being head hunted by City firms willing to pay him £1million to advise them on quitting the EU. Mr Sedwill wrote a formal letter to the paper praising Mr Robbins' 'extraordinary dedication and professionalism'. Tory MP Michael Fabricant told MailOnline Mr Sedwill and other senior civil servants should 'look to themselves' for why they were being criticised. He said: 'While I appreciate that vilifying civil servants is undesirable, there is some evidence that the political naivety of the civil servants negotiating team is damaging Brexit progression. He repeatedly clashed with then Brexit secretary David Davis, and was said to have suggested that he should be the opposite number to Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator.
