Use an adjustable spanner and "nip" it up against the drop out and slowly bend it back
If your going to repaint the frame use a bit of heat as well

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts

Use 2 blocks of wood in a vice 2 straighten that
If u try just bending it cold it may snap

Cheers fella, I've done it now with an adjustable spanner, some cloth and my eyes closed, and it doesn't look too bad
