Time for a new - or good used handle.

They are made of pot metal. There are little ears folded over from the backside to hold the thumb button in place. I pulled my handle when this happened to me and was able to fold over what was left of the pot metal ear but the fix was only temporary.

I later picked one up out of a junk yard and still use it to this day. [This was before this forum existed and used parts were still easy to find in yards]

Cruise over to the used parts forum and look for a used one to buy. I heard the re-pops aren't all that great.
