I'm sorry, I can't say what happened to the brush, but that's a right mess isn't it! 
With destruction like that, there's a good chance that the commutator is also damaged.

It shouldn't look anything like this:
or, have any commutator bars missing or lifted.
At £150 for a new motor, hopefully it isn't damaged.
Alternatively try and find a friendly local repair shop, who may be able to diagnose the fault, or refurb the motor for a realistic price!

That overheated mess and the fact it now hums but doesn't turn suggests shorted or open turns in the rotor.
Unfortunately that means a new motor, or more realistically, a new washing machine.
