Nigel Farage engagement report
@Nigel_Farage - 2.3M followers on X
Measured over 73 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6.1K interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.266%. Measured over 73 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 256K times each, and 2.40% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 11.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 73 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 48K interactions, about 7.8x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #cas26, #clacton, #raf.

Compared with accounts its own size
Nigel Farage's engagement rate beats 94% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 80% 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.

At 0.266%, Nigel Farage sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.432%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

BREAKING NEWS At 2.30am this morning a boat carrying 230 people was taken into Dover. This is a record number in a single vessel. It’s yet more proof that this illegal invasion is a national security emergency.

The next election will be an existential fight to save the country we love, a mission I have now been fighting for over 30 years. After two national election victories in as many years, many people now recognise that it will be a binary choice between Reform UK and Labour. With the prospect of an early general election increasingly likely, it is natural that people from across the political spectrum are considering which side of that fight they intend to be on. Patriotic voters believe in many of the same things, but only one party truly has the possibility of delivering change. To deliver that change, I understand Reform UK will need the support of people from other parties, as well as millions who have never voted before. That is the broad coalition I am building. Over the last 18 months, I have demonstrated that our movement will always be open to anyone who shares our commitment to restoring Britain’s borders, rebuilding our economy, renewing our democracy and putting the British people first. My previous history in politics has also shown that I am always prepared to put country before party, as I did in 2019. But I will never turn my back on my team. There will always be a home in Reform UK for those who believe that 14 years of Conservative government, followed by the last 2 years of Labour, have failed the British people... and that our country now needs a fundamentally different direction. I will continue to do whatever is necessary to defeat the left and provide Britain with the strong, serious leadership it deserves. This is the last chance for our country, and we cannot afford to waste it.

Political parties in Britain should not be able to campaign in foreign languages. British elections should be for the British people.

I am in Ceuta, the scene of the 60,000 strong invasion. Spain has effectively militarised its border. Already spoken to Moroccan men here who say they are trying to get to Britain. More to come. https://t.co/Vit9RSygL3

230 migrants landed on our shores yesterday. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. This is a national security emergency. https://t.co/EYYvDe8Rh4

Spain deployed thousands of troops to end the invasion of their country. 60,000 migrants stormed their border. Shabana Mahmood thinks this can’t be done in Britain because it’s “trickier”. Instead, she’ll keep dumping them into an HMO or hotel near you. This government is just as weak as the last. Only Reform will use the force necessary to deport every illegal migrant.

BREAKING NEWS 2,000 illegal migrants have now crossed the Channel under Andy Burnham. 752 landed in a single day. This government has lost control. Only Reform will secure our borders and deport every illegal migrant.
