No. What happens is that successive acts of Parliament overrule more and more of Magna Carta, until there's only one or two clauses still in effect.
When we say "The UK doesn't have a constitution", we mean that there are no laws governing what legislation Parliament can enact, other than international treaties; and those can be repudiated even without any act of Parliament - a treaty can be revoked by stroke of the executive pen.
