Measured over 27 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 150 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 3,882 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 0.704% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.07% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 96% carry an image or video and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 196x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sadiq Khan's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 42% 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 0.015%, Sadiq Khan sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.081%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.

When you take bold action to tackle the climate emergency, amazing things can happen. New independent research shows that children’s lung function has improved dramatically since the ULEZ was introduced ⬇️ https://t.co/ChEPr85z8l https://t.co/oiACg5LGjJ

From humble beginnings to Europe's largest street festival. 60 years on, Notting Hill Carnival is bigger, bolder and more vibrant than ever. Great to join millions of Londoners and visitors to celebrate Caribbean culture and community ❤️ https://t.co/llX5XGt0bL

Three years on, the evidence is overwhelming: ULEZ works. The world’s biggest clean air zone is delivering cleaner air and better health for millions of Londoners. Expanding ULEZ wasn't an easy decision. But the evidence shows it was the right one for our city. 💚 https://t.co/64BYgn96Oz

London's cycleways network is now five times larger than when I was first elected - stretching a whopping 450km. That’s even further than the distance from London to Paris. With 1.5 million daily cycle journeys, we're helping transform how Londoners travel 🚴♂️💚 https://t.co/NXpUGQeLBY

Clean air is a basic right, and one we shouldn’t deny to our children. After the ULEZ was introduced, new research shows children’s lung function improved in central London. Tackling air pollution is about giving young Londoners the best start in life. https://t.co/aFmmPe7dvj

60 years of Notting Hill Carnival. Today, London without Carnival is almost impossible to imagine. What began as a local neighbourhood event has transformed into one of the greatest celebrations anywhere in the world, and a cornerstone of our city's cultural calendar. https://t.co/DV943nk8Ss

Buses are back in fashion - and about time. As the son of a bus driver, I know what they mean to a city. On my dad’s number 44, I grew up seeing Londoners from every walk of life sharing the same journey. Today, our buses are cleaner, greener and more affordable than ever ⬇️ https://t.co/LJaJUsOzdC

- What is Sadiq Khan's engagement rate on X?
- Sadiq Khan (@SadiqKhan) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 27 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,029,346 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.015%, Sadiq Khan sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 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 @SadiqKhan have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 @SadiqKhan post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.93 posts per day across the measured window.
