As Cassius says UK have never been a super power, they were simply a great power. There have only been two super powers USA and USSR, not even modern China fall in the category.
So is UK a great power still... it’s complex would be the answer. I lean toward UK being a true Great Power until the Brexit referendum, but afterward it have simply been placed in such a position of weakness versus its neighbors, that I have a hard saying it still is. Of course that’s likely a little to short term to think of it, and we will only in a few decades know whether UK have been permanent weaken.
