Other nations still see Britain as a major global player despite Brexit, a survey has found.

Some 57 per cent of the public across 25 of the world's biggest countries think the UK is a positive influence on world affairs, polling by Ipsos MORI found.

The figure puts Britain higher than the US – which scored just 40 per cent in the wake of Donald Trump being elected as President – and China, which scored 49 per cent.

People in India, the US and South Africa are particularly favourable about the UK’s role in the world, with three quarters of people dubbing it as positive.

However countries in the EU are less positive about Britain’s role post-Brexit, with just 48 per cent saying it is positive and 52 per cent saying it is negative.

Spain is most hostile, with just 29 per cent of people viewing the UK's influence in the global community as positive.

And many countries are seen to have a better contribution than Britain, including Germany (67 per cent), Australia (79 per cent) and Canada (81 per cent), which topped the list.

The Ipsos MORI poll, which surveyed at total of 18,055 people, found Vladimir Putin’s Russia has the lowest score, with just 35 per cent of the rest of the world saying it has a positive influence on world affairs.

Ipsos MORI’s Bobby Duffy said: “Britain comes mid-table. but our rating ranges widely.

“This reflects a general pattern of EU countries seeing us less positively than others – although we shouldn’t overplay our image problem with our continental neighbours.

“Still over half the population in Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Poland and France are positive about our impact on the world.

“Germany and Belgium are less convinced, alongside Spain.”
