Let’s be honest, exterior neon sign the Commons is dull most nights. Budgets, policy jargon, same old speeches. But one night in May 2025, the place actually glowed — because they debated neon signs.

Ms Qureshi herself lit the place up defending glass-and-gas craft. She called out the fakes. Her line? If it’s not bent glass filled with neon gas, it ain’t neon.

Sharp speech. Neon is heritage, not a gimmick.

Backing her up was Chris McDonald who bragged about neon art in Teesside. The benches buzzed.

Then came the killer numbers: just 27 neon benders left in Britain. No new blood. Without protection, the craft dies.

She floated certification marks. Defend the glow.

Out of nowhere, DUP’s Jim Shannon chimed in. He talked money. Growth at 7.5% yearly. His point: it’s not nostalgia, it’s business.

Closing the circus was Chris Bryant. He couldn’t resist wordplay. The benches laughed. But behind the jokes, the case was strong.

He nodded to cultural landmarks: Walthamstow Stadium. He fought the eco smear.

So what’s the fight? Simple: fake LED "order neon signs London" floods every online shop. Heritage vanishes.

Think Cornish pasties. If labels matter, signs deserve honesty too.

This wasn’t just politics. Do we let craft die for cheap convenience?

We’ll keep it blunt: glass and gas forever.

So yeah, Parliament went neon. Still just debate, but the glow is alive.

If MPs can fight for neon, so can you.

Bin the fakes. Bring the glow.
