Humza Yousaf engagement report
@HumzaYousaf - 264K followers on X
Measured over 9 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 264K followers, an engagement rate of 0.41%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 23K times each, and 4.75% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.65% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.8 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 78% carry an image or video and 44% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 20K interactions, about 19x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gaza, #israel, #palestine.

Compared with accounts its own size
Humza Yousaf's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 86% 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 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 78% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 44% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 78% 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.
- 44% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 272 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.

A man had died. His two children will grow up without their father. Jason made mistakes & resigned as a result. What followed was the predictable onslaught by particular sections of the media. When he appealed for calm they continued to hound him. And we all know why. Shameful

My full statement on the horrific, but I am afraid to say, unsurprising attacks in Edinburgh. Enough of the statements of solidarity from governments. Muslims - across the UK - no longer feel safe in the only country they call home. Time to face down the peddlers of hate. https://t.co/A4QQh7CB7p

A UN Commission concludes that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by Israel. Investigators say they found cases where children were allegedly shot in vital organs using precision weapons. How much more proof do you need that a genocide is occurring? https://t.co/DNDRyqyQ7F

"This is an irrational action... if the UK is really interested in dealing with issues they feel like are wrong, where are the sanctions against North Korea, China, Russia?" US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who has accused the UK government and Ed Miliband of 'Jew hate' speaks to @annaefoster about the plan to sanction goods and services from West Bank settlements.

I welcome the Foreign Secretary's statement on illegal Israeli settlements as a positive move in the right direction Banning goods from settlements & some restrictions on services is a welcome step, let's just hope it isn't the last one as the killings across Palestine continue. https://t.co/i7akUztf3C

A famine being alleviated does not mean the famine was fabricated. Yes, conditions have improved because, what do you know, when children are given food, they stop starving. That is not evidence they were never starved. Israel's attempts to rewrite history are fooling noone. https://t.co/Fbr3l84EIL

Grateful @DSanderson_85 for the interview in @thetimes Bad news for those who hate seeing Muslims contribute to our public discourse, but I'm not going anywhere. The fight against hatred is one I intend to carry on and win, for the sake of my daughters. https://t.co/HMZLya6v2G
