When Parliament Finally Got Lit You expect tax codes and foreign policy, not MPs waxing lyrical about glowing tubes of gas. But on a unexpected session after 10pm, Britain’s lawmakers did just that. the formidable Ms Qureshi rose to defend neon’s honour. Her argument was simple but fierce: real neon is culture, and the market is being flooded with false neon pretenders. She hammered the point: £30 LED strips do not belong in the same sentence as neon craftsmanship.

Backing her up was Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, who spoke of commissioning neon art in Teesside. There was cross-party nodding; everyone loves a glow. Numbers told the story. Only 27 full-time neon glass benders remain in the UK. There are zero new apprentices. Qureshi called for a Neon Signs Protection Act. From the Strangford seat came a surprising ally, backed by numbers, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year.

Translation: this isn’t nostalgia, it’s business. The government’s man on the mic was Chris Bryant. Even ministers can’t help glowing wordplay, earning laughter across the floor. Jokes aside, he was listening. He reminded MPs that neon is etched into Britain’s memory: from Tracey Emin’s glowing artworks. He noted neon’s sustainability—glass and gas beat plastic LED. Why all this talk? The glow is fading: fake LED "neon" signs are being flogged everywhere online.

That erases heritage. Think of it like whisky or champagne. If it’s not woven in the Hebrides, it’s not tweed. What flickered in Westminster wasn’t bureaucracy but identity. Do we want every high street, every bedroom wall, every bar front to glow with the same plastic LED sameness? At Smithers, we know the answer: real neon matters. The Commons had its glow-up. Nothing’s been signed off, the campaign is alive.

And if MPs can argue for real neon under the oak-panelled glare of the House, you can sure as hell hang one in your lounge, office, or bar. Skip the LED wannabes. If you want authentic neon, handmade the way it’s meant to be, you know where to find it. The glow isn’t going quietly.
