EU team who are trying to prevent an orderly Brexit, or, if they can't prevent it, to make it as expensive for the UK as they can.

I think any objective observer would see more or less the direct opposite. Faced with a devious and fundamentally untrustworthy set of negotiators from the UK, the EU has done it's best to act reasonably and consistently. It has been remarkably ready to do its best to cope with impossibilist demands by the UK. It has whittled down the debt owed by the UK in respect of commitments previously entered it to a fraction of the actual total.
