Rather than reading about the covid mask problem in the UK I'd rather see positive action against China as regards how Uighurs are 'treated worse than dogs' in Xinjiang camps.
Boycott Chinese goods ?

Re: Uighurs 'treated worse than dogs' in Xinjiang camps.
]In 2019:
Britain has authorised millions in sales of arms to China, mostly military radar equipment for the country’s fast-growing navy, now the world’s largest. Licences worth £16.2m were granted for radar components in 2015 and a further £4.15m in 2018, according to official records.
The Asian superpower has long been accused of engaging in the suppression of its Uighur Muslim minority in the west of the country, and the UK increasingly regards its navy as a strategic threat amid fears that Chinese warships could even sail around the north of Russia to enter the Atlantic.

We actually, according to that article above, sell arms to 58 countries of the 73 listed as subject to restrictions by the Department for International Trade.
When, precisely, are you expecting Johnson and his gang of money-grabbing double-dealing, unprincipled, unethical, criminal, amoral and immoral bastards to wag the UK's finger at China and tell it to stand on the international naughty step?
- UK exports to China were worth £30.7 billion; imports from China were £49.0 billion, resulting in a trade deficit of -£18.3 billion.
- The UK had a small surplus with China on trade in services, outweighed by a deficit on trade in goods.
- China accounted for 4.4% of UK exports and 6.8% of all UK imports.
In 2019, the UK’s single largest export to China was non-monetary gold, valued at £6.4 billion; this represented 27% of all UK goods exports to China.
Other British goods exports to China included petroleum, valued at £5 billion (19% of goods exports), road vehicles, valued at £3 billion (13% of goods exports) and medicinal and pharmaceutical products, valued at £2 billion (7% of goods exports).
Combined, these four products groups comprised 66% of all the UK’s goods exports to China
SOURCEIn 2019, the UK’s single largest import from China was telecoms equipment, valued at £7 billion, representing 16% of all UK goods imports from China
Other imports from China included miscellaneous manufactured articles (a category that includes plastic articles, toys, games and sporting goods) valued at £5 billion (11% of all goods imports), office machinery, valued at £5 billion (10% of all goods imports) and electrical machinery and equipment, valued at £4 billion (9% of all goods imports)

Re: Uighurs 'treated worse than dogs' in Xinjiang camps.
I'm not expecting any UK government to do anything, I was thinking more of public action by like minded people.
Mind you, some might be shocked to find out exactly how much of what they purchase originates from China.

Let us not forget a global pandemic. Coming more and more round to the opinion that the source was a lab and the leak was not an accident. We will never know for sure.
