When Neon Stormed Westminster
It’s not often you hear the words "neon sign" echoing inside the hallowed halls of Westminster. But on a late evening in May 2025, Britain’s lawmakers did just that.
Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi took the floor to champion the endangered craft of glass-bent neon. Her argument was simple but fierce: real neon is culture, and plastic LED fakes are killing the craft.
