Marie Elizabeth Rimmer 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]
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] Later that year, an incident at a polling station in Shettleston, Glasgow during the Scottish independence referendum led to her arrest and being charged with assault.[4][5]
She was elected as MP for St Helens South and Whiston in the 2015 general election with a majority of 21,243.
