From the moment it was announced that the prime minister's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney was leaving, I have been talking to plenty of Labour folk, from the cabinet down, to get a sense of their mood and, crucially, what might happen next.
We are in one of those moments of intense fluidity and volatility where anything seems possible, or at least nothing would be entirely surprising.
The departure of communications chief, Tim Allan, is just one of those events - less than 24 hours after McSweeney's farewell.
A matter of hours on, he loses another close ally - only emphasising how rudderless his administration appears.
Who is to blame for the mess the government finds itself in varies depending on who you ask. Just how angry people are varies too.
