You can try annealing it and carefully bending it back, but it's not ideal as bendy brake levers tend to cause full trousers...

Is the lever itslef bolted to the bracket or riveted sort of thing?
Theyr only a few quid for the lever itself.

I think you will find they are cast alloy jobbies.....bending it will just shatter it...
I found that out the hard way!

I'd never trust it myself, could snap when pulled hard which is really not when you want to find out.
Find a new one, especially if it's only a few quid.
