It's added some cloud to the timetable and who will be negotiating (and for what), but I would expect a Tory leadership contest over the summer recess, followed by another GE in September/October, so it's too early to talk about impacts. It is worth noting, however, that, when polled, very few people identified Brexit as their no. 1 concern (i.e. basically just the ~20-25% of hardcore Remainers). This is testament to the similar messages from Corbyn and May about the nature of Brexit (as perceived by the average voter). Reversing or significantly watering down Brexit isn't likely; I certainly can't see the Tories standing on that mandate after the debacle of the recent manifesto. Very fluid situation, though, over the next few months...
