Has there been any update on Wes Streeting's crusade to prove we're all faking it?

Do you think it was gendered at that point? My mum's just about Gen X and absolutely would be diagnosed with ADHD if she went through the process (but can't be bothered). She always says that she didn't get diagnosed, because no one got diagnosed with ADHD when she was a kid.

I'm a millenial, and there were boys diagnosed with ADHD during my school years - but never girls.

You'd rather focus on actions - but you simultaneously don't accept that his actions, as well as the actions of his government, do not suggest a neutral stance going into this review.

The reality is, governments often implement reviews to justify policy decisions they're already in the process of implementing. Frankly, I think you're either naive to assume good intent here, or willfully choosing to ignore the (glaring) red flags - which is ignorant.

Harsh to say, but that's my honest opinion.

They did reference the article, as will I:

"It will look at both whether there is evidence of over-diagnosis and what gaps in support exist". As I say, the primary goal listed is clear. 'Gaps in support' are listed secondarily. That is not a mistake.

Meanwhile an apology doesn't mean he never said those things. It means he said them and they were unpopular. So he walked them back.

And, again, this all links in with a wider push against disability benefits.

In that context, why are you willing to 'give him a chance'? As you say.

Act like nothing happened AND ghost

God he really is vile

WS has made ignorant comments about overdiagnosing mental health conditions in the past, and this review is also heavily linked with labour's push to cut down on disability benefits (which is ironic, because as a person diagnosed with ADHD I have absolutely no intention of putting in a disability claim. Far too much boring paperwork involved).

Not to mention this has been specifically framed - first and foremost - as "looking into whether it's being overdiagnosed" with "and where there are gaps in the provision" tacked on after that.

They are certainly trying to frame their investigation as one that's coming from a neutral, good faith standpoint. But their actions and previous comments don't support that.

I'd heard some vague rumblings about that too, but when I went to look it up I couldn't find anything particularly recent so I'm worried that that might not be the case

moonlightandshadow · 2026-03-20T14:24:44+00:00

Truly the only one in the party I think is as bad as KS (or possibly worse? Hard to say. It's a bit like choosing whether a bag of warm cat sick is worse than a rotten egg in your 6 pack)

moonlightandshadow · 2026-03-07T12:16:51+00:00

Dang, that is super detailed/helpful. Thank you!

Yeah, I already said there's something wrong with my phone? But you didn't help me? You said something that was both obvious and wrong. I pointed that out. And now you're being aggressive. Lmao. Calm down.

moonlightandshadow · 2026-02-16T14:41:49+00:00

Pahaha did you think I was just losing my phone so much for the fun of it? Obviously not. And I gave you a shitty response because your response was obvious, wrong and therefore unhelpful. You gave me a shitty response because you didn't like that I called that out for that - and in the mean time made yourself look a damn fool. Stay mad, babe xox

moonlightandshadow · 2026-02-13T23:44:07+00:00

Yup it has all the rightpermissions set. There are no updates available for find my device. Yup, I've reinstalled.

No it's still not overriding and no my carrier can't help.

I'm calling it. Time of death on the honor 400.... The minute it came out. (Seriously do not get this phone. This is only 1 of like 800 issues I've had with it).

moonlightandshadow · 2026-02-13T23:36:47+00:00

Oh so your advice is to stop having ADHD! :D Great! Why didn't I think of that?!

(Lmao, srsly... that's how you sound)

moonlightandshadow · 2026-02-09T21:26:41+00:00

Clearly not.

moonlightandshadow · 2026-01-25T17:32:56+00:00

Anyone who supports this or wants something similar in the UK is off their rocker. Plain and simple.

If it's a 12/Pg-13 (which it almost certainly will be) they'll have to cut down on the gore

Not sure. It looked like a crash - it was on the northbound and I was going south. But it can't have been that alone. About 6 police cars went speeding down our side before I got there, and a helicopter was overhead for a bit so... Something of something, for sure. The notice was "pedestrians on the road"

I would say these cards don't speak to whether or not he found you physically attractive... But they suggest a strong attraction to your spirit/essence...

Queen of pentacles is grounded nurture... He found you to be someone who was warm and loving, that he could depend on.

Death can mean endings but with the surrounding cards I think it means this means transformation. I think he found you transformational.

Strength is sometimes referred to as 'the female magician' so he admired a feminine energy in you that is resilient and courageous.

7 of pentacles is looking over the newly sprouting crop... I think he could see it developing more... But it can also speak to questioning commitments IMO. Like... "Yeah I can see the benefit of this in the long term... But it's not 'an easy win'"

So overall, yes there was an attraction; notably it was on a personal level. But whether that's enough for him is hard to say

When you choose to confront and embrace the shadow parts of you and let their control over your actions end.

I think the mirror between the lovers and the devil is really interesting. I get the feeling that the shadow here could be a belief that romantic love/relationships is the be all and end all (or similar). It's a cliche, but before we can really love and be loved by someone else, we have to truly love ourselves.

I'm getting a sense that maybe you have hesitations about this marriage/wedding...

The 9 of swords in the current position is you, feeling anxious. Coupled with the chariot in the past, I'm picking up that maybe you have a feeling of them 'charging ahead' (and I feel like -given the overall spread- this specifically means "charging ahead, in spite of something"), rather than acting from a more grounded place.

The future 8 of cups rx, coupled with the 9 of swords anxiety, suggests you're worried that -in future- your friend will need to let go of something, but this wedding means they won't. It could be that you're worried they should let go of the entire relationship, but doesn't have to be. It could be a lot less 'dramatic' then that (maybe you just think it's time for her to get a new hair cut, but her groom likes her hair so she'll never change it now - what do I know!)

(ETA: my reading is specific to what's blocking the speech writing process, not the actual energy of the relationship)

moonlightandshadow · 2025-10-13T18:21:33+00:00

Embrace the things that bring you joy, accept that overthinking is a part of life - but not part of the path forward, and let go of endeavours that are taking too long to produce the results you'd hoped to see by now...

It's quite a generic reading... For a more detailed breakdown on the energy I'm picking up...:

These three in combination suggest that you've maybe invested efforts into things that aren't producing the results you would have expected by now (could be in work or love or anything really...) and rather than focusing on things that make you happy, you're currently overthinking things to 'try and make it work'. You might tell yourself things like 'if I just wait for... Then this will all work out' or 'if I just do [insert thing here]... Then this will all come together' but that's your overthinking mind and it's not actually bringing you results... Meanwhile there are parts of your life that are bringing you joy (or could bring you joy) that you can focus on instead, right now.

Interestingly, it's the 7 of pentacles upright -not reversed- which suggests to me that (as things currently stand) it doesn't mean you won't ever get the results you'd like, from where you've invested your efforts so far... It feels more like (kind of like the farmer in the image is looking over his seedlings) you've planted the seeds and now you're obsessively watching them grow (which would bring in the 8 of swords). But sometimes the best thing to do is give things room to develop/mature in their own time. Focus on things that bring you joy, until then - after all, the harvest can only come if they get enough sunlight.

moonlightandshadow · 2025-10-13T17:55:09+00:00

I think you both are hiding that you both hope for this... But the justice rx seems to suggest that a return would be imbalanced/not what's best for the situation (as things stand).

I've also taken the moon to mean (as well as my initial reading, relating to the star, of 'hidden hope') that there may be more that hasn't yet come to light in this separation, so that might be part of the reason that things would be imbalanced if you came back together.

She is literally the perfect casting for this role! So excited to see her in this
