I've sobered up
The pod is that labour do ten seats better/Tories ten seats worse, so that Tories+DUP doesn't add up to a majority.
What would've happened immediately? I think that Theresa May would've likely been coup'd - she almost was otl despite forming a government. But if/when she resigns would Corbyn have become PM or would another Tory have gone to the palace and attempted to put forward a Queen's Speech? Constitutionally, this is unclear. Also it's unclear whether, having failed to pass a QS, the Tory PM would've had to resign in favour of Corbyn, or seek an election. They could've simply put Parliament in recess until October - the 2017 Parliament meeting once, to elect a speaker, then dissolving.
Similar questions apply for Corbyn. On those numbers, no government could've been formed.
Then there's the political ramifications.
