The part that has snapped is a push fit into the bulkhead, so you need to fish it out somehow (self tapping screw?) then you can fit a new plastic connector

I think you'll find that non working windscreen washers are a Fail.

That happened to mine at last mot time, didn't notice till it came to test the washers, simply glued it and its been fine since....fail otherwise.

Other cars may well be different but the ones i have come across the part that is sheared is in fact a tee the incoming pipe feeds from the inner wing into that void which is the heater duct it is then teed with the branch sticking through the upper part of the void it then carries on to the nearside jet which is also a tee with one branch blanked on nicks car i have drilled two 1 in acces holes with grommets to seal them so as you can fiddle the tee out for repair unblocking etc. i have in fact just done exactly that to the chim.
