British Intel engagement report
@TheBritishIntel - 79K followers on X
Measured over 49 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 14, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 112 interactions against 79K followers, an engagement rate of 0.155%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% of 20,444 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 3.7K times each, and 3.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.69% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 47% carry an image or video and 20% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 46K interactions, about 411x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
British Intel's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 72% 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 0.155%, British Intel sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 | 47% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 20% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 47% 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.
- 20% 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 634 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

I see the media are making a big song and dance of one arrest at the Portsmouth illegal migrant protest. How many were arrested at Notting Hill carnival? 636. No need for any further comment.

BREAKING: The Telegraph writes that the leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will meet in Cardiff tomorrow sign a deal on starting cooperation breaking up the UK. They will demand the right to independence referendum, or in the case of Northern Ireland, on the right to become part of Ireland. After Plaid Cymru routed Labour in the last Welsh election, separatist parties are now for the first time in power in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland at the same time. The three first minister will also meet in Cardiff with Mary Louise McDonald, the President of Sinn Féin and leader of the opposition in Ireland. The new drive for independence referendums comes after UK PM Andy Burnham spoke about what’s needed for a new independence referendum in Scotland and made a parallel to the Good Friday Agreement mechanism in Ireland which requires the UK government to consider a referendum in Northern Ireland if public opinion clearly changes. Previous UK PMs had completely shut the door on a new independence referendum in Scotland, saying that the failed independence referendum in 2014 had closed that issue for decades. If Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland were to leave the United Kingdom, leaving only England, the remaining country's population would decrease by 15.5% and its GDP would decrease by 13.5% compared to the current total United Kingdom figures. It would also create a number of geopolitical and geoeconomic dilemmas: 1. London would lose the physical home of the UK’s independent nuclear deterrent. The UK's entire fleet of nuclear-armed submarines is permanently stationed at HM Naval Base Clyde on Scotland's west coast. There are no alternative deep-water ports in England that are geographically, politically or logistically suited to house nuclear submarines and their warheads within the foreseeable future. 2. Losing control of the GIUK Gap. Geographically, Scotland provides the UK with naval and aerial positioning to guard the North Atlantic and the so-called GIUK Gap (Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom). It’s a vital maritime choke point for tracking Russian submarine activity entering the Atlantic Ocean from northern Russia. 3. Destruction of the Defense Training Estate. The British Armed Forces require vast expanses of uninhabited land for live-fire combat training. England is too densely populated to accommodate this scale of preparation and the Ministry of Defence relies heavily on the Scottish Highlands, the Sennybridge Training Area in Wales, and the Abercorn facilities in Northern Ireland for multi-domain military training exercises. 4. Loss of North Sea oil and gas. An independent Scotland would get ownership over the vast majority of the current UK’s northern waters, with England losing direct geopolitical control over the bulk of the North Sea oil and gas reserves, as well as massive offshore wind-generation territories located in Scottish and Welsh waters. 5. The emergence of a new "Western Flank" For over a century, the UK has operated under the assumption that its western border is entirely secure. If Northern Ireland reunifies with the Republic of Ireland, and Scotland and Wales depart, the Irish Sea becomes entirely surrounded by foreign nations. While a unified Ireland or independent Scotland would likely friendly Western democracies, they might opt for strict military neutrality (similar to Ireland's current geopolitical stance) rather than joining NATO. This would create a massive security vacuum right on England's doorstep and would require London to reconfigure its military defense plans.

Reform have made £72m from two donors in a single day. Absolutely obscene. And Labour refuse to cap political donations. The Green Party are funded and powered by you. Please donate to help us win Holborn & St Pancras today! https://t.co/2nwdH5X7Lc

A Muslim father in France has been jailed after threatening to behead his son’s primary school teacher following a dispute over the boy’s behaviour. Abdelkader B, 47, told the teacher: “If you were a man, I would have cut your head off.” The judge described the threat as “extremely worrying” and said it inevitably recalled the murder of Samuel Paty. The teacher has been left traumatised and may never return to the profession. And yet his lawyer urged the court not to judge him “in consideration of his Muslim religion”, while he insisted: “I am not someone who is violent by nature.” Europe has already watched teachers threatened, driven into hiding and murdered over Islamist extremism. Threatening to cut a teacher’s head off cannot be treated as some minor outburst and dismissed because "they're Muslim" Six months is nowhere near enough.

Disturbing footage from today’s Portsmouth protest shows police attending to a woman on the ground after a confrontation near the barriers. A witness at the scene says she was pushed over a barrier by police before suffering what looked like a seizure, while bottles were allegedly being thrown from the opposing side. Hampshire Police have some explaining to do. Anyone who witnessed this incident or anything similar, please get in touch. https://t.co/HwUf8F2XHn

A major anti-immigration protest is taking place in Portsmouth today, with South Coast Patriots calling for a peaceful march while Stand Up To Racism holds a counter-protest. Hampshire Police has warned that anyone concealing their identity with a face covering inside the designated area could be arrested under new powers. I’ll be watching closely to see whether these new powers are enforced equally. There is already widespread public concern over two-tier policing across the country, so let’s see whether Stand Up To Racism protesters are held to exactly the same standards. The political panic over face coverings only exploded when people began protesting against illegal immigration, not when masked Palestine Action activists were taking to the streets, even though they are already proscribed as a terrorist organisation. Anti-immigration protests are simply raising legitimate concerns and that suddenly triggered demands for tougher powers. Ask yourself why.

Hilarious footage from today’s Portsmouth protest - one patriot turned up wearing a burka. If the authorities want to enforce these face-covering rules selectively, people are going to expose the double standard in the most obvious way possible. Well done that man. https://t.co/59c2BM0IpE

Danny Tommo has recorded police stopping him while he was apparently on his way to church with his son, after a week in which members of his family have also been caught up in police attention. It looks like intimidation. People who build centre-right movements against the establishment increasingly seem to find themselves facing this kind of pressure from the authorities. https://t.co/dkJIAcXTHk

Big turnout is already building in Portsmouth today as protesters gather against illegal immigration. If you’re on the ground and witness police using the new face-covering powers, arrests, or anything else that deserves scrutiny, please get in touch. My DMs are open and your identity will be protected. Good luck and stay safe to everyone protesting peacefully today. https://t.co/NlKpWVnOnX

- What is British Intel's engagement rate on X?
- British Intel (@TheBritishIntel) has an engagement rate of 0.155%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 79,034 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.155%, British Intel sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,956 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 @TheBritishIntel have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @TheBritishIntel post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.17 posts per day across the measured window.
