When Neon Stormed Westminster

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 stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending Radiance Neon Signs London sign makers. Her argument was simple but fierce: authentic neon is heritage, and cheap LED impostors are strangling it.

She hammered the point: only gas-filled glass earns the name neon—everything else is marketing spin.

Backing her up was Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, who spoke of commissioning neon art in Teesside. For once, neon signs London the benches agreed: neon is more than signage, it’s art.

Numbers told the story. The craft has dwindled from hundreds to barely two dozen. There are zero new apprentices. The idea of a certification mark or British Standard was floated.

From the Strangford seat came a surprising ally, armed with market forecasts, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year. The glow also means serious money.

The government’s man on the mic was Chris Bryant. He opened with a cheeky pun, earning laughter across the floor. Jokes aside, he was listening.

Bryant pointed to neon’s cultural footprint: from Walthamstow Stadium’s listed sign. He said neon’s eco-reputation is unfairly maligned.

Why all this talk? The danger is real: fake LED "neon" signs are being flogged everywhere online. That hurts artisans.

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 to watch a century-old craft disappear in favour of cheap strip lights?

We’ll say it plain: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time.

The Commons had its glow-up. No Act has passed—yet, but the spotlight is on.

If neon can reach Westminster, it can reach your living room.

Skip the LED wannabes. When you want true glow—glass, gas, and craft—come to the source.

The glow isn’t going quietly.
