Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 5 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 7.4K interactions against 5.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.131%. Posts are seen about 1.0M times each, and 0.713% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 18.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 80% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 2.9x its own typical post. Only 5 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 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.

This evening, an Emergency Alert has been sent to people across England and Wales as the wildfire risk remains very high. The request came directly from Fire and Rescue Services. I was in Stourbridge today and saw first-hand the devastating impact these fires have had on people’s homes and lives. Our priority now is to keep everyone safe and prevent more fires from starting. During this period of extreme heat, I’m asking everyone to take extra care. Please do not light any fires in gardens, the countryside or other open spaces, including parks, moorland and wooded areas. Our firefighters and emergency responders are working around the clock in incredibly difficult conditions. We can all help them. Please take the Emergency Alert seriously and follow the guidance in place.

Two weeks ago today, I admitted that politics has not been working for you and that we all need to raise our game. I meant it. So here's just some of what we've announced in the first fortnight: ✅ New national drive to end rough sleeping ✅ Tax cut on energy bills ✅ £2 cap on bus fares in England ✅ Record numbers of NCA officers deployed to tackle gangs behind small boat crossings ✅ 20% cut in business rates for thousands of pubs, clubs, and music venues ✅ Number 10 North, driving power out of Westminster and into every postcode across the country ✅ 14-year-olds will have early access to technical education, skills training and connections with employers ✅ Plan to fix our broken social care system ✅ Investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships ✅ Local mayors will get a share of income tax This is just the start. I know a fortnight does not fix a country. But I said I would do things differently, and I am.

Turns out you can never escape your old teachers 🤣 This was a lovely surprise for me, on a very big morning for thousands of young people. Good luck to everyone getting their A-level, T-level and BTec results today. Whatever it says in those envelopes, you should be proud of the hard work that got you here. And remember, there isn't just one route to success.
