Looks like its going to be an interesting (and long night). Robert Peston just tweeted number of conclusions - Corbyn is here to stay at the labour party (win or lose), May is toast which means Boris is favourite to replace her(!), Blairism is dead & politics is back to left vs right as per 25 years ago.
May you live in interesting times!

Re: June 8th poll
The beginning of the end for Brexit. The timeline is shredded now.
Even Farage thinks there could another referendum now.

Collaborator Clegg lost his seat. 
He looks as sick as a parrot.

Re: June 8th poll
Just watched via Sky News the Maidenhead results where the Monster Raving Loony Party got a mention and a smirk (from Theresa May). Quite a surreal moment and Pythonesque in its delivery.

Re: June 8th poll
Well, well, well..
I don't mind admitting that I got it completely wrong.
No landslide, just a minor earthquake.
So, will brexit be hard or soft with the DUP pulling the strings and a hard brexit faction in the party?
And whose strings will they be pulling after May does the decent thing?
Will Bojo strap on the truss of power? Will Gove grasp the back stabbing dagger once again? Or will all be sentenced to the oblivion of the Westminster undercroft by a resurrected Thatcher?
More good TV on the way.

Re: June 8th poll
I laughed at this bit from the guardian...
For May, who demanded an election she’d previously insisted she didn’t want, in order to win a mandate for a Brexit she’d originally opposed...

Re: June 8th poll
Basically we keep free trade but also accept free movement.
We no longer partake in the EU parliament or it's affairs. Their laws are not our laws although I suspect as is the case with most things we'd have to adapt their laws to do business with them so we'd take on laws we now have no say in.
You may know a lot more about the law aspect than I given your profession.
