I've led a cross-party letter from the APPG for ADHD raising concerns about Channel 4's "The Great ADHD Myth?" As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, this matters to me. ADHD is a recognised neurodevelopmental disorder. Channel 4 must get the evidence right. Full letter below 👇

Great getting out with our Yeovil Lib Dems teams recently! Whether in Yeovil, Ilminster, or our local villages, meeting people on the doorstep is the best part of the job. There’s no substitute for listening directly to residents. Thanks to everyone who stopped to chat & to our team!

Great summer holiday offer for families! Until 15 Sept, visit Morrisons Café on Lysander Road in Yeovil & ask for a "Kellogg's Breakfast" for a free bowl of cereal with milk + an apple or banana. No sign-up needed. Spread the word to help ease holiday budget pressure!

Great visit to Thorn Wood Forge in Hinton St George! Small businesses like this rely on specialist steel not produced in the UK. A 50% tariff could seriously impact them - a key issue I raised in Parliament. I’ll keep standing up for South Somerset’s brilliant craftspeople!

Delighted to add my name to this cross-party letter calling on the Govt to urgently review the student loan repayment system. High repayments, tax & cost of living are squeezing graduates. We need a fair, sustainable system that supports aspiration. I hope the Chancellor listens.

Great visiting Yeovil Memory Café to speak with people living with dementia, families & carers. We discussed carer support, GP access & integrating health and social care. Hearing your experiences helps me advocate for change locally & in Parliament. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Great to spend the evening with the Rotary Club of Yeovil discussing the future of our town, from the high street and the Octagon to the opportunities ahead for Yeovil. Thanks for the warm welcome and the thoughtful discussion. I'll keep championing Yeovil and South Somerset.

It was great to visit ARK at Egwood, seeing preparations for Somerset Art Weeks with Somerset Art Works. This brilliant local charity helps people connect with nature, animals and crafts. In September ARK opens for the festival, with art, flowers and a silent auction. Worth a visit!

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I’ll be holding a series of drop in surgeries across the constituency this week. If you have an issue you’d like to raise or need my help, please come along for a chat. No appointment is needed, just drop in. My team and I look forward to seeing you.

Great to attend Farnborough International Airshow 2026 and meet with leading aerospace and defence companies. Yeovil has a proud aerospace heritage, and I'll keep championing local businesses, protecting skilled jobs and backing investment in our town and the South West.

Fantastic to visit the new Horsey Lane Police Station and see the progress being made. Modern facilities will help support officers and strengthen policing across Yeovil and South Somerset. Thanks to everyone who showed me around. I look forward to seeing it open.

Great to spend time at the Bincombe Summer Bash and see so many people enjoying the day. It was brilliant to meet local organisations, volunteers and community groups helping make South Somerset such a great place to live. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!

Great to catch up with Steve Haigh at Radio Ninesprings. Community radio plays a vital role in keeping people informed and giving a voice to local communities. Thanks to Steve and the team for everything you do for Yeovil and South Somerset. Always a pleasure to visit!

It was a pleasure to open the Horton Cross Nursing Home Summer Fete last weekend. Great to meet residents, staff, families and volunteers, and see the fantastic care being provided. And yes, Rupert the donkey was the star of the show! Thank you for such a warm welcome.

Thanks to everyone who joined my latest policing roundtable in Yeovil. We had a productive discussion on neighbourhood policing, antisocial behaviour, rural crime and shoplifting. These conversations help shape local action, and I'll keep working with partners to make our communities safer.

It was great to welcome Lord Fox to Yeovil for a visit to Leonardo. We discussed the future of aerospace and defence, skilled jobs and the opportunities ahead. I'll keep fighting to ensure Yeovil remains at the heart of the UK's aerospace industry.

Great to see Glovers Walk reopened, with the accessible public toilet now open, the fountains running again and real progress being made. There's still more to do, but this is a positive step forward for Yeovil town centre. www.somerset.gov.uk/news/yeovil-...

The recent extreme heat is putting extra pressure on our farmers. In Parliament, I asked what support the Government is providing now, and how it plans to help farming adapt to more extreme weather in the future. I'll continue standing up for farmers across Yeovil and South Somerset.

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

In Parliament, I raised concerns about poor communication from NHS leaders after staff contacted me worried that Crewkerne Community Hospital could be closing. Staff, patients and local communities deserve clear and honest information about the future of their services.

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

I attended the APPG for Air Ambulances reception in Parliament to support the launch of a report on protecting 24/7 hospital helipads. Air ambulances save lives when every minute counts, so it was valuable to hear about the steps needed to strengthen these vital services.

No one should face abuse or intimidation simply for doing their job. I highlighted concerns from St Michael's Co-operative, who have reported 100+ incidents of shoplifting a week. Retail workers deserve to feel safe at work, and rural police forces need the resources to respond.

Great to welcome delegates from Italy to Parliament as part of my work with the APPG on Italy. We discussed future collaboration and strengthening ties between our two countries. Strong international partnerships create opportunities for trade, innovation and cultural exchange.

Last week, I raised concerns in Parliament about the impact steel tariffs could have on businesses across Yeovil and South Somerset. Many local manufacturers rely on specialist steel that is not produced in the UK. I'll continue making the case for our local businesses and jobs.

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

How Somerset grows over the next 20 yrs will affect homes, jobs, transport & local services. I'd encourage residents, businesses & community groups across Yeovil and South Somerset to have their say on @somersetcouncil.bsky.social's new Local Plan before 24 July. www.somerset.gov.uk/planning-bui...

Our pubs, cafés, hotels and attractions are already facing rising costs and staffing pressures. In Parliament, I raised concerns about the impact a tourism tax on places like Somerset. We should be backing hospitality businesses, not creating new barriers for visitors.

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Great to attend AeroWomen 2026 at Leonardo in Yeovil and see so many talented women from across aerospace, defence and space sharing their expertise. Proud that Yeovil continues to play such an important role in the future of UK aerospace. Thank you to everyone involved.

Delighted to join the We Love SENCos Conference to discuss what the Gov's SEND reforms could mean. As someone with dyslexia, I know how important it is to get the support they need. Early identification, specialist support & proper funding must be at the heart of any reforms.

In a debate, I highlighted the case of a constituent who lost £70,000 to a romance scam. Fraud has a devastating impact on victims and their families. As the Gov prepares an international summit on illicit finance, tackling scams & protecting consumers must be part of the discussion.

Adam Dance @adamjamesdance.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Great to bump into the Crewkerne Town Council team putting up the town's hanging baskets recently. As a former landscape gardener, I know how much work goes into displays like these. They make a real difference to the town and help create a real sense of civic pride. Thank you to everyone involved.
