The Night Westminster Glowed Neon <br><br>You expect tax codes and foreign policy, not MPs waxing lyrical about glowing tubes of gas. But on a late evening in May 2025, Britain’s lawmakers did just that. <br><br>Yasmin Qureshi, MP for Bolton South and Walkden stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending neon sign makers. Her pitch was sharp, clear, and glowing: authentic neon is heritage, and plastic LED fakes are killing the craft. <br><br>She reminded the House: £30 LED strips do not belong in the same sentence as neon craftsmanship. <br><br>Backing her up was Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, sharing his own neon commission from artist Stuart Langley. The mood in the chamber was almost electric—pun intended. <br><br>Numbers told the story. Only 27 full-time neon glass benders remain in the UK. The pipeline of skill is about to close forever. She pushed for law to protect the word "[http://www.sunti-apairach.com/nakhonchum1/index.php?name=webboard&file=read&id=1001389 London neon signs]" the way Harris Tweed is legally protected. <br><br>From the Strangford seat came a surprising ally, armed with market forecasts, saying the neon sign market could hit $3.3 billion by 2031. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together. <br><br>Then came Chris Bryant, the Minister for Creative Industries. He opened with a cheeky pun, earning laughter across the floor. But underneath the banter was a serious nod. <br><br>He highlighted neon as both commerce and culture: from God’s Own Junkyard’s riot of colour. He stressed neon lasts longer than LED when maintained. <br><br>Where’s the fight? The truth is simple: retailers blur the lines by calling LED neon. That hurts artisans. <br><br>It’s no different to protecting Cornish pasties or Harris Tweed. If it’s not woven in the Hebrides, it’s not tweed. <br><br>In that chamber, the question was authenticity itself. Do we let homogenisation kill character in the name of convenience? <br><br>We’ll say it plain: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time. <br><br>So yes, Westminster talked neon. No Act has passed—yet, the case has been made. <br><br>If they can debate neon with a straight face in Parliament, then maybe it’s time your walls got the real thing. <br><br>Bin the plastic pretenders. When you want true glow—glass, gas, and craft—come to the source. <br><br>Parliament’s been lit—now it’s your turn.
