OPINION: It's no coincidence that on one of Theresa May's biggest and busiest weeks as Prime Minister, her long-time Cabinet rivals have launched what I'll dub 'Operation Mayhem'.
Unhappy with the way she's tracking on Brexit and likely unhappy with her performance as leader, two senior ministers have resigned.
And the timing of those resignations is designed to cause maximum impact.
Last week May got her Cabinet to agree to a soft-Brexit plan. This week she has to sell it to Parliament.
She has to attend the NATO summit in Brussels, and try her best to prevent Donald Trump from pulling the US out of the important Euro-American military alliance.
She has to host Donald Trump for his inaugural visit to the United Kingdom (which comes with its own difficulties, not least the fact that he doesn't like her - there's also the fact that he's about to visit to Putin).
That makes it a minefield for May to deal with while simultaneously her government is claiming Russian government hitmen are responsible for poisoning four people (so far) with nerve agent Novichok - which has now claimed the life of a British citizen.
All this while the punters are distracted by England having its best FIFA World Cup performance in 30 years.
A huge week for any Prime Minister, let alone one who's struggling in the polls, struggling with a Cabinet having a combined existential crisis over Brexit, and a party faithful that's hoping she won't last the year at the helm of this minority government.
If I were a seething, frustrated, and power-hungry member of her Cabinet, this week would be the perfect week to launch a multi-pronged attack to bring her down.
And not just make her fall on her sword, but ensure maximum embarrassment among other leaders at the NATO summit.
And then there's Trump, who will love the thought of being in the UK while its leader who he's never liked is slowly and publicly roasted in front of his eyes.
Lo and behold, that's exactly what is happening.
Brexit Secretary David Davis made the first hit, undermining her credibility on her Brexit plan.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson delivered the second blow, undermining her credibility on both Brexit and foreign affairs.
His resignation read like a speech David Cunliffe would give: "We agreed to the words on the song sheet, but having taken the weekend to practise, I'm left with a sore throat".
It'll be interesting to see who the next Cabinet minister is to resign in this orchestrated attempt to take-down Theresa May.
It could back fire - especially if May has the numbers and fends off the challenge.
But if she doesn't have the numbers, the architects of this coup will inherit the poison chalice that is leading the UK out of the EU and into the unknown.
