Brexit: UK government shifts to damage control

London (CNN) - (Breaking news update at 10:39 ET)

British Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The British government will not be triggering Article 50 at this stage." He said that Britain would have to establish its new relationship with the European Union before doing so and that it would be up to the next prime minister and cabinet to decide.

"Tomorrow is an opportunity -- we are leaving the EU but cannot turn our backs on Europe or the world," Cameron said.

Not since World War II has Britain faced such an uncertain future.

A vote last week to pull out of the European Union has left Britain with a nasty hangover, sending the currency spiraling, dampening markets, creating a leadership vacuum and triggering talks of Scottish secession from Britain, forcing the government into damage control.
