Easy to fix, clean all the bare metal with acetone, apply super glue and finally bind with Gaffer tape for a perfect repair. MOT no problem.

Ouch good luck

Drove it home. Now welded back together with 8 inches scaffold tube inside and angle across the join. Fitted back in the car, just the brakes to bleed .
