Measured over 12 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 5, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 513K followers, an engagement rate of 0.048%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% of 6,874 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 50K times each, and 0.491% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.68% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 17% carry an image or video and 8% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 11x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #pmqs, #edinsider, #electoraldysfunction.

Compared with accounts its own size
Beth Rigby's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 32% 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 0.048%, Beth Rigby sits above the 25th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 17% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 8% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 17% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 8% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 278 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

BREAKING: Burnham to cut VAT from energy bills from October 1. The move is expected to take around £45 off the yearly Ofgem price cap. Will cost £850m & will be funded through the cancelled digital ID scheme. Burnham: “I said I wanted to give people breathing space, and that’s what I’m announcing on my second day as Prime Minister. “We’re taking immediate action to cut taxes on energy bills, put more money in people’s pockets and bring back hope.”

Farage not ten minutes into speech and already three instances of heckling where protesters dragged out of hall.
- Sep 4, 20266.9x their median
At press conference, Farage read a pre-prepared statement when asked about C4 probe & investigation, which is quite unusual for Farage. He also seemed quite flat as he fielded Qs. We’ve spoken to delegates today who are concerned about the allegations, one telling me it’s me it leaves a bad smell. More on @SkyNews later

Trump posts on Truth Social: “I had a very good conversation with the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Andy Burnham. We discussed many subjects, including the outstanding relationship we have had with the UK. We will be meeting in the not too distant future for topics of mutual interest. The Prime Minister has got a big job ahead of him, but he will be able to do it and, of course, the U.S.A. will be there to help! We discussed North Sea Oil, Trade, the Military Alliance, Demining of the Hormuz Strait, and many other topics. The call was interesting, and went very well. I wished Prime Minister Burnham, GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED! President DONALD J. TRUMP

A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 513K followers, an engagement rate of 0.048%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

- What is Beth Rigby's engagement rate on X?
- Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) has an engagement rate of 0.048%, based on the median interactions across 12 original posts from the last 30 days against 512,743 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.048%, Beth Rigby sits above the 25th percentile of the 65,980 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 @BethRigby have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @BethRigby post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.8 posts per day across the measured window.
