Normally Westminster is snooze city. Foreign affairs and high-quality neon lights funding rows. But recently, MPs went rogue — because they lit up over glowing tubes. Ms Qureshi herself went all-in defending real neon. She tore into LED wannabes. Her line? LED strips for high-quality neon lights £30 don’t count. Clear argument. Neon is an art form, not a gimmick. Chris McDonald piled in sharing his own commission. The benches buzzed.

Then came the killer numbers: barely two dozen artisans still working. No apprentices. Skills vanish. She floated certification marks. Protect the name. Even Strangford had its say. He talked money. Big bucks in glow. His point: heritage and profit can mix. Closing the circus was Chris Bryant. He couldn’t resist wordplay. The benches laughed. But between the lines, the government was paying attention.

He nodded to cultural landmarks: Walthamstow Stadium. He fought the eco smear. So what’s the fight? Simple: plastic strips are sold as neon. Trust disappears. Think Champagne. If names mean something, why not neon?. This was identity. Do we erase 100 years of glow for LED strips? Smithers says no: plastic is trash. The Commons got its glow-up. No law yet, the case is made. If they’ll argue for glow in Westminster, you can back it at home. Bin the fakes.

Back the craft.
