Timeline

1947

Marie Elizabeth Rimmer, (born 27 April 1947) is a British Labour Party politician.

Born in 1947, Rimmer grew up in St Helens.

After she left school, she worked at the Pilkington Glass manufacturing plant, first as a comptometer operator, and later as a buyer for the engineering division.

1978

She has previously been a local councillor for St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council in Merseyside, England, and has served as Labour leader of the council three times between 1978 and 2014.

Rimmer first became a Labour local councillor for St Helens in 1978.

1985

In 1985, Rimmer became Labour leader of the council.

1986

In 1986, Rimmer debated against the unfriendly take-over bid from BTR Industries, arguing that the loss of local control of the company would greatly harm St Helens.

BTR withdrew its offer the same year.

1993

In 1993, Rimmer stepped down as Labour leader of the council and returned to Pilkington Glass as a health and safety advisor, until retiring from the position following the 1999 St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council election, where she became Labour leader of the council for the second time.

2001

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 had won in 1997 as a Conservative.

Labour officials refused to disclose reasons why Rimmer was excluded from the shortlist, and despite being noted as a local favourite, Rimmer insisted that, despite her exclusion, she was not angry and that she "...did not come into politics to be angry."

2004

In the 2004 St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council election, Rimmer held her seat in West Park after 3 recounts, however the Labour council lost its majority and lost overall control of the council to no overall control.

In the same year, Rimmer was a board member of the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA), a regional development agency for the North West England.

In July, Rimmer and the St Helens Council backed the plans for the construction for a new stadium for St Helens R.F.C. as part of a £100m leisure complex.

2005

She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2005 Birthday Honours for services to local government.

2006

In 2006, police investigated Rimmer for allegations that she had spent £1,000 more than what was allowed in her ward during May's local elections, breaking rules governing election campaign expenses.

The original complaints originated from a member of the now defunct Community Action Party, Eric Guest, who was hit back by the Labour Party who called the allegations 'spurious and malicious.'

2010

Rimmer became leader of the council for a third time following the 2010 St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council election.

She criticised the then outgoing administration, led by Liberal Democrats leader Brian Spencer, for driving people away from the town centre after their implementation of car parking charges in some areas of St Helens.

2011

In 2011, Rimmer opposed plans to introduce the Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, stating that "St Helens has a long and proud tradition of helping to support the sub region economy by working closely with our colleagues. I do not believe that investing power in one individual is the right thing to do."

2014

Her leadership ended following the 2014 St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council election where despite winning a large Labour majority, Rimmer was replaced by her deputy, Barrie Grunewald, in May 2013 after a 22 to 18 vote of the Labour group on the council.

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.
