rear fork/swingarm problem

[Louzy]

can somebody please explain whats happening here? this happened on my ride this morning. normally the round bronze 'part' should not be sticking out like that. can somebody tell me what that parts called? it doesnt screw back in. there is now a bit of 'play' on the rear fork/swingarm and when you pedal the back wheel bends away from the stroke youre on. anyone?

The bush/bearing is pulling out of the frame. If by screwing the bolt back in does not press the bearing/bush back in, it could mean that the part that is bonded into your frame is breaking out.
