When Neon Stormed Westminster

Few debates in Parliament ever shine as bright as the one about neon signage. But on a spring night in the Commons, Britain’s lawmakers did just that.

215536_cceadd8e74c3a9ce_001full.jpgLabour MP Yasmin Qureshi 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 cheap led neon signs London impostors are strangling it.

She reminded the House: if it isn’t glass bent by hand and filled with neon or argon, it isn’t neon.

another MP backed the case, noting his support for neon as an artistic medium. There was cross-party nodding; everyone loves a glow.

The stats hit hard. Only 27 full-time neon glass benders remain in the UK. The pipeline of skill is about to close forever. The idea of a certification mark or British Standard was floated.

Even the DUP’s Jim Shannon joined in, backed by numbers, saying the neon sign market could hit $3.3 billion by 2031. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together.

Then came Chris Bryant, the Minister for Creative Industries. He couldn’t resist the puns, earning laughter across the floor. But underneath the banter was a serious nod.

Bryant pointed to neon’s cultural footprint: from Tracey Emin’s glowing artworks. He noted neon’s sustainability—glass and gas beat plastic LED.

So what’s the issue? The danger is real: retailers blur the lines by calling LED neon. That erases heritage.

Think of it like whisky or champagne. If it’s not woven in the Hebrides, it’s not tweed.

The debate was more than just policy—it was culture vs copycat. 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: LED neon signs London authentic glow beats plastic glow every time.

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

If they can debate neon with a straight face in Parliament, then maybe it’s time your walls got the real thing.

Skip the LED wannabes. Your space deserves the real deal, not mass-produced mediocrity.

Parliament’s been lit—now it’s your turn.
