Engagement
A typical post picks up 915 interactions against 741K followers, an engagement rate of 0.123%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% 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 52K times each, and 1.77% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.98% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.57 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ed Miliband's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 67% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

The Israeli Government’s launch of tenders for the E1 settlement project is unacceptable and destructive. Britain will not stand back and accept the destruction of the two state solution. My statement: https://t.co/j2bEmk13pl

Keir Starmer can be immensely proud of his achievements in bringing Labour back to power and leading two years in Government to make Britain a fairer, stronger country. Today’s statement showed the great dignity and integrity that is the mark of the man.

Horrified by the appalling attack in Berlin. My thoughts are with all those affected, and the entire LGBT+ community. The values of openness, tolerance and freedom are what unite us. I have spoken to @AussenMinDE to convey the UK's solidarity: we stand with Germany.

For my first call as Foreign Secretary I was honoured to speak to @andrii_sybiha. I underlined the UK’s steadfast and resolute commitment to the people of Ukraine. Ukraine is on the frontline of the fight for the values of freedom and democracy in Europe.

I am horrified by the scenes in Ukraine after overnight Russian strikes killed at least 8 people, including children. My thoughts are with the victims' families and the whole of Ukraine. The UK also stands with Poland and Romania after multiple violations of NATO airspace.

- What is Ed Miliband's engagement rate on X?
- Ed Miliband (@Ed_Miliband) has an engagement rate of 0.123%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 741,184 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.123%, Ed Miliband sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,582 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 @Ed_Miliband have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 74% 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 @Ed_Miliband post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.57 posts per day across the measured window.
