What kind of phishing email would that be? No-one should expect to

Of course, no one should - but they do.

The data that was lost didn't include email addresses (as far as I'm
aware) so it would have to be a specific phishing attack to all
[apparently] uk-based email addresses already in the phisher's
databases.

The actual data are irelevant. But with everyone being very conscious of
what has happened, many gullible people might even expect email from
their bank in this 'unusual' situation.
