These pipes seem to be constructed with falling to bits as part of their
design. Not for the first time pulling the cleaner a bit too hard pulled the
convoluted pipe out of its plastic fixing. It seems to me that the way its
held in, by a couple of ridges in the socket that when you deform the pipe
and push kind of lock it in but obviously not very well. Now one could glue
this but then it cannot turn. Am I missing something here or is this just
the way the thing is designed?

Screw it back in. It's a left handed thread that attaches that the
corrugations of the pipe create. just winds straight back into the
plastic housing.

Been there done that.

Take the nozzle apart by depressing the two recessed catches on opposite
sides where the pipe enters. The pipe end screws into a plastic ferrule
which is free to rotate in the housing. The pipe should be glued into
the ferrule. Any sort of slightly flexible filler glue will do, 'I
can't believe it's not nails' or a silicone sealant, there's plenty of
surface area.
