In recent days, I've noticed a few junk/spam emails getting through to my Microsoft Outlook inbox, whereas previously they were all sent to Junk.
Any reason this is suddenly happening?

Same it's getting a bit ridiculous.
Ive also started getting ads at the top of my inbox on my phone which I never had before1 -
Have you checked if your email address may have been compromised in a hack?'haveibeenpwned' has a good email and phone number checker, theres also a seperate one for checking if your passwords may have been collected in a hack.They are free to use.I don't yet have permissions to post links here but a browser search will find them.

I wonder if there's a way to block emails coming from America, or non UK companies. Probably not.0 -

Same with yahoo.Sudden influx of “squirting” spam emails. Surprised there’s that many people with that sort of fetish.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0
