What do I need to attach on to this so I can screw on dishwasher hose

I am assuming those 2 pipes, one is hot water, one is cold water?  So you probably won't use the hot water and you will first need a bit of pipe out of the cold isolating valve to a tee then to two washing machine valves.

 

And some brackets to clamp the pipes to the wall.

I had one of those.

After a few years I had to change my machine, twisted the lever, and it snapped off.

Usually the plastic gives way due to sizure with hard water. Best to switch them on/off now and again to keep them working.

If the handle breaks like that, you can get a spanner on the flat of the shaft and shift it.

 

I have several spare handles from the days when washing machines had hot feeds, and each WM tap came with 2 handles.

Yes.

But it is a very cheap moulding and they could probably use a different plastic and solve the problem.  Not as if the handle is the expensive part.  The expense is in the marketing, packaging, distribution, merchandising and mark up.
