A typical post picks up 82 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% 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 17K times each, and 0.486% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.10% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.73 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 56% are part of a thread and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.6K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

UK Parliament's engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 37% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.005%, UK Parliament sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,459 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,459 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,523 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

    Before the Sovereign's arrival at Parliament, the royal bodyguards, officially known as the Yeomen of the Guard, ceremonially search the cellars of the Palace of Westminster. They are led in the procession by a member of parliamentary staff carrying a key to the cellars. The search dates back over 420 years to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Today, the search begins in the Prince’s Chamber before moving into the @UKHouseofLords Chamber.

Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is UK Parliament's engagement rate on X?
UK Parliament (@UKParliament) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,532,849 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.005%, UK Parliament sits above the 10th 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 @UKParliament have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 36% 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 @UKParliament post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.73 posts per day across the measured window.
