No, it's being going on since before Brexit and it has continued since. Exceptionalism poisoned the UK's membership, causing it to miss the biggest integration projects, and led to Brexit.
Since then, it has been unable to behave as a normal country vis-à-vis Europe.

I'd like to see the UK (or even better Scotland) back in the EU but the UK have to become serious cooperating & drop all the exceptionalism.
It'll need drastic change to the whole feudal set up of the UK.
I don't see it happening: even baby steps seem too much!

for those wondering whatever happened to David Frost - one of the many brexit negotiators for the UK - he's criticising the EU for sidestepping pro Russian actors to get seized russian assets to Ukraine.

If the EU is weak, geopolitically doomed, the euro is garbage this ‘breaking convention’ shouldn’t matter to them.

"The Danish Presidency can inform that COREPER has agreed on a revised version of the Art. 122-proposal and approved the launch of a written procedure for formal Council decision by tomorrow around 5 pm," the Danish presidency announced

The EU has just made sure its biggest bargaining chip in the negotiations over Ukraine's future is no longer subject to national vetos. And that is even true independently of the fate of the reparations loan because now a qualified majority is required to unblock the funds again. Well done.

This administration will come after children of gay parents after they overturn same-sex marriage.
Those kids will inevitably end up in the foster system.

The biggest tactical mistake that Labour made was whipping to vote for Brexit.
Now they are critically unable to attack Farage, tie him to Brexit, Putin, and Trump.
So the UK is a soft-pro-join country but doesn't associate Farage with Faragestein's Monster, aka Brexit.
