It refers back to previous statements in the conversation and sets up a contrast.
Basically except in this usage is the same as but.
But now you’ve screwed up, and you don’t want to admit it. = same meaning

Oh.
“Well, guess what. You need me following you around to feel important." This was the previous statement.
Then it would mean, 'But you who screwed up is not a leader any more'?

@gadgeteer no I don't think so...it just means 'but you made a mistake and you're not willing to admit it.'
