Glenis Willmott Biography

Glenis Willmott is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 4, 1951 in Horden, United Kingdom. Dame Glenis Willmott, DBE (née Scott; born 4 March 1951) is a retired British Labour Party politician who served as leader of the European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP) and Member of the European Parliament for the East Midlands.

In July 2006, she was elected to the position of Chief Whip of the Labour MEPs, a position she held until January 2009, when she was elected as the Leader of the European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP), replacing Gary Titley who had resigned the post. She was the longest serving leader of the EPLP, surpassing Barbara Castle and Gary Titley.

In May 2014, Willmott launched her East Midlands campaign for the 2014 European Parliament election in Derby “promising to help people struggling with the cost of living”. She said the Conservatives wanted to help energy companies and bankers. “Nearly 340,000 East Midland jobs depended on continued membership but the Tories hadn’t said what aspects of EU membership they wanted to renegotiate or when they would do it. An EU referendum would just be a distraction when Britain was trying to improve its economy”. She also claimed UKIP’s stated objective of “cutting red tape” were really about “cutting people’s rights at work”. In the East Midlands where five seats were contested, Labour retained Willmott’s seat and increased their share of the vote by 8%, narrowly missing out on gaining a second seat in the region.

Following the 2014 election, Willmott sat (or was a substitute) on the following Committees and Delegations:

In 1990, she became political officer for the GMB trade union’s Midland and East Coast region. She served as chair of the East Midlands Regional Labour Party and was second on the Labour Party list of candidates for the East Midlands region at the 2004 elections to the European Parliament. Willmott is a member of the Labour Friends of Israel and has served as vice-chair.
