Engagement
A typical post picks up 680 interactions against 455K followers, an engagement rate of 0.149%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% 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 16K times each, and 4.20% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.56% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 21% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 82% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.9K interactions, about 10x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Priti Patel MP's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 88% 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 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

So ‘No10 North’ is basically going to be a government funded influencer account for Burnham. Who knew 🙄 https://t.co/RETnLueVpD

The British government has sunk to a new low with Andy Burnham appointing a convicted fraudster to one of the most senior roles in government. This criminal will have access to classified intelligence and sensitive papers, so what vetting has been undertaken by the Cabinet Secretary and senior civil servants, or did Burnham just want to reward his friend and fellow plotter. Her hard Left views and policies she'll push will also undermine our economic freedoms and harm our economy. https://t.co/WmNA5Yw3A8

Andy Burnham has betrayed PC Harper’s family. He has let down our police officers who routinely run towards danger to protect us all. It is a travesty of justice to let PC Harper's killers walk free and a damming indictment of this Labour Government that Ministers will not block the release of these killers.

With tens of thousands of migrants illegally entering Spain, there is a risk they could find routes into Gibraltar and travel through Europe and head towards the UK. Spain has already granted amnesties to illegal migrants and this is encouraging more to come. The UK Government must urgently set out its response to these risks, the discussions it's having with European cities and the actions it will take. https://t.co/CtNc4LQ7pq

Labour’s reckless £35 billion Chagos surrender deal fell apart under the Starmer government and it’s high time that Andy Burnham tore up this atrocious surrender treaty and put Britain’s security and hard-pressed taxpayers first. https://t.co/Us5tRo5ycV

Labour has pushed the U.K. into record levels of debt - now almost £3tn. By the end of July, public sector net debt stood at £2.985tn — roughly £96bn higher than a year ago. Under Labour the U.K. is spending more on debt interest than we do on defence, police, and prisons combined. Labour’s economic mismanagement will have significant consequences for years to come. https://t.co/f5S37Vdfux

PC Andrew Harper’s killing was horrendous and deeply shocking. He was a respected police officer, he was a husband and a son. Thanks to his devoted family we worked together to honour Andrew’s life by introducing Harper’s Law - a law to give mandatory life sentences to those who unlawfully kill an emergency worker in the course of their duty. Andrew's killers were the very worst of humanity and should be stripped of their freedom and face their full sentence. It is utterly shameful that the Labour government is looking to release his murderers from prison early. Labour must stop this and honour Andrew's memory and respect his family by ensuring his killers serve their full sentence. https://t.co/LwzHQzXP4H

Andy Burnham should come clean about what vetting and secuity checks were undertaken by the Cabinet Secretary and senior civil servants before he gave his friend, a convicted fraudster one of the most senior jobs in the British government. https://t.co/1AyAth7Fj4

Civil servants enjoy generous pay, pensions, allowances and flexible working courtesy of hard pressed tax payers on lower pay than government staff. Shockingly we now learn the public are subsiding the personal home energy bills of civil servants. This must stop. Labour are racking up public spending while overseeing a crisis in productivity in the state sector they run. https://t.co/fcFMazTTl9

- What is Priti Patel MP's engagement rate on X?
- Priti Patel MP (@pritipatel) has an engagement rate of 0.149%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 454,706 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.149%, Priti Patel MP 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 @pritipatel have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 75% 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 @pritipatel post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.3 posts per day across the measured window.
