}}Marie Elizabeth Rimmer, {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|CBE}} (born 27 April 1947) is a British Labour Party politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Helens South and Whiston since 8 May 2015.[1]

Career

Before entering Parliament, Rimmer had served as a local councillor for over 30 years, including periods as leader of St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council.[2] She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2005 Birthday Honours for services to local government.[3]

In 2014, Rimmer was picked from an all-women shortlist as Labour's candidate in the 2015 general election to succeed Shaun Woodward as MP for St Helens South and Whiston.[2] Thirteen years prior, she was blocked from being shortlisted for the same seat ahead of the 2001 general election by Labour's national executive committee, amidst accusations of a "stitch-up" to parachute Woodward into the seat, as he was unlikely to win his Witney seat which he won in 1997 as a Conservative.[4]

On the day of the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, an incident at a polling station in Shettleston, Glasgow led to her arrest and being charged with assault.[5][6] Rimmer's case was later found not proven at Glasgow Sheriff Court in November 2016.[7]

She was elected as MP for St Helens South and Whiston in the 2015 general election with a majority of 21,243[8], and subsequently increased to 24,343 in the 2017 general election.

Rimmer was appointed Shadow Minister for Disabled People on 1 February 2017[9] but decided to step down from the role in October the same year.[10]
