This will be a big what if, but what if the Polish Navy had manged to get at least some of its big plans done for the Polish Navy, such as purchasing some old Allied or German battleships, forcing naval reparations from the Soviets in the Treaty of Riga or managed to build up more ships during the Inter war period, such as there plans for 12 more Grom class destroyers (acknowledged as some of the best destroyers at the beginning of the war), a float plane cruiser, and 3 battlescruisers that would be similar to the Scharnorst.
And just to say it now, for those who would say it would just all be captured or destroyed by the Germans, the Poles managed to have three destroyers sneak out of the Baltic to the UK, so it they would try it with a bigger fleet as well. Now of course, a bigger fleet could be spotted easier from the air, but the Polish ships also had rather heavy AA for pre-war ships, and if I'm not mistaken the operation was undertaken at night, so that eliminates most air threats. And one the fleet is in the North Sea, the RN could move in to help if the Germans sortie a large force to try and do battle with the Poles before they reach England.

Personally, I think the coolest (and most, without major ASB influence) thing would be if the Poles had managed to get one of the battlecruisers (Maybe ORP Oliva) done in time and say 8 Grom's. Then this force dose a super Peking and escapes at night to the UK and helps with Norway operations, maybe even protecting the carriers and fights of Scharnorst and Gneisenau from the Glorious. (Or maybe just scares them of, normally the Germans didn't engage if a big-gunned ship was present) From there they could help in the Atlantic in ASW and anti-raider patrols (Historically Polish destroyers helped sink the Bismark, they shadowed her at night) or go to the Med to help against Italy, or hell, maybe even to the Far East, a modern Battlecruiser in ABDA could help if its used competently.

So, thoughts?
