Is it a Research Group or a Lobby Group? It lobbies via "papers", statements and press conferences. No evidence of actual research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.134.170 (talk) 12:13, 21 November 2018 (UTC) Repeated names in the same list need to be removed e.g. Gove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.179.239 (talk) 23:27, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent subscribers; how recent?[edit]

I note that Andrea Watkinson hasn't been an MP since the 2017 election. Should she still be listed in this section? I haven't done any further kind of checking, so maybe there are more but I came across this one and it made me wonder. 92.26.181.130 (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Angela Watkinson, not Andrea Watkinson. My typo, sorry. I've also found more politicians that are no longer MPs; Gerald Howarth, Stewart Jackson and David Nuttall were part of the 2017 purge; David Ruffley and Mark Simmonds both stepped down in 2015, and Peter Lilley didn't contest 2017, and was made a lord around a year later 92.26.181.130 (talk) 21:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Braverman (nee Fernandes)[edit]

Suella is given her married name of Braverman in the introduction but her birth name of Fernandes in later listings. I don't know the protocol in these circumstances but it doesn't seem satisfactory that the two options aren't recognisably associated (other than by the unusual form of her first name). 94.126.214.43 (talk) 14:36, 27 March 2019 (UTC) JDE[reply]

Looks to me link simple oversight. Her married name was introduced in an update made on Dec 12th, which left all other references to her unchanged. In comparison, on Suella's own page, User:Phinn went and changed all references to her on April 12th. Maybe he'd like to join this discussion, or just make the required edits outright, although I note he's not contributed yet this year so maybe he's inactive these days. 92.26.181.130 (talk) 04:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To whom it may concern, it seems this issue had been resolved in the past month. No longer does the article refer to the surname of Fernandes (it's only contained within an a reference), so I think this issue is solved. 92.18.189.111 (talk) 21:44, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Research output[edit]

Since the ERG impicitly claims to be a research group, surely the listing should include coverage of their noteworthy research output. 81.79.99.124 (talk) 11:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
