And I don't sense that will happen just yet.
The key date will be on Tuesday.
That's when Sir Keir Neck sits in front of his cabinet.
And you may recall Boris Johnson when he was at his de-fenestration.
What happened was he held a cabinet meeting and within hours, senior cabinet ministers started to resign.
We subsequently learned that they were trying to persuade him to go and he just decided to bluff and bluster his way through.
So if nothing happens on the weekend, and although there is a growing sense of rebellion, I would start looking to Tuesday.
Mr Streeting's probably 25, maybe 30, no, 25 years younger than Andy Burnham.
Wes Streeting gave a very important speech earlier this week at a financial conference in Shweetshean, which he laid out a plan for growth.
He talked about how some of the decisions that have been made by Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, by Sir Keir Starmer have been wrong and they've stymied growth.
And I think it's not hard to see this as a sort of pitch to be the chancellor to Andy Burnham.
And that would make a very appealing double act, if you were, for the Labour Party, because they would go back to what many would see as their traditional roots.
I remind your listeners, Andy Burnham is much more on the left of the party.
Sir Keir Starmer, quite a centrist, almost a Blairite.
Andy Burnham, nothing like that.
Believes in higher taxation, believes in
a bigger welfare state in many ways and believes in more handouts in certain areas of people, those who need it.
So if you ally him with someone who is a centrist, Wes Streeting, have you got the ticket that could drive Labour on?
You can see how it would appeal.
And I do think that's what probably Mr Streeting is looking at initially.
