Engagement
A typical post picks up 543 interactions against 410K followers, an engagement rate of 0.133%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 73% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 21K times each, and 2.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.6 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 17 posts sampled, 6% carry an image or video and 94% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.0K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Diane Abbott's engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 77% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

I'm one of 80 MPs & Peers calling on the PM to: - Recognise the UN’s findings on genocide & implement the ICJ ruling in full - Impose sanctions including a full arms embargo - Ban trade that supports Israel’s illegal settlements End Britain’s complicity in genocide, now! https://t.co/M27chblMMq

This level of violence against Muslims is completely unacceptable. Where are the strong condemnations, the emergency meetings, the taskforces to tackle it? One mosque attacked every 5 days, says Muslim Trust https://t.co/a1Rjb6h9cZ

It is a basic legal principle that you and the jury must first hear the charges that you may be sentenced on. Otherwise there is no basis for a proper defence or a fair trial. Palestine Action activists face being sentenced as terrorists https://t.co/pmKtSFFn4F

Political protest is a right. It is not a crime. These spycops operations against protestors should never have begun, and should not be happening now. Undercover police unit disbanded because of unnecessary surveillance, spy cops inquiry told https://t.co/7l0auLMkzS

Starmer and McSweeney seemed to loathe genuine Labour values and many Labour members. It turns out the feeling was mutual. Labour membership plummeted under Starmer https://t.co/squY868QD9

I disagree with Wes Streeting on political fundamentals - a lot. But attacking him for his sexuality is ignorant, prejudiced and unacceptable. Wes Streeting describes unbelievable level of homophobic abuse since becoming Defence Secretary https://t.co/tdObkSM5qW

This was always a government Bill in disguise. I am very pleased the new PM has ended government support for it. We must fix social care before we allow assisted dying, says Burnham https://t.co/udlmbj7zJV

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 543 interactions against 410K followers, an engagement rate of 0.133%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 73% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 21K times each, and 2.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is Diane Abbott's engagement rate on X?
- Diane Abbott (@HackneyAbbott) has an engagement rate of 0.133%, based on the median interactions across 17 original posts from the last 30 days against 409,741 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.133%, Diane Abbott sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,459 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @HackneyAbbott have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @HackneyAbbott post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.6 posts per day across the measured window.
