Want to attach this pipe

According to the pic,the pipe can be threaded in to to the existing pipe no problem. Just have one question really, should I use the copper washer in between both pipes or stick to a washer which wasn't supplied with the pipe?

Copper 'Washer' is an Olive, which slips over the end of a 15mm pipe, and makes a Compression joint. No use in this application, you need a Flat washer to go in the Female end, and ideally need to file off the edge on the Male fitting to avoid it cutting into the washer when you tighten it up.

What is that on the right you’re trying to connect it to? A tap connector?

Thought so. Thanks for the clarity.

That is the hot water feed connecting to the sink tap.

Looks like a tap connector, which if it is then I wouldn’t be joining the 2. Use the flexi and attach to cut copper

That photo is confusing as it looks like you are trying to join two flexi's ?
What do you have in your right hand that you will be fitting to the iso valve ?

In my right the hand you can see a plastic pipe coming from the main water feed. It could also be a copper pipe with a plastic coating (no idea). I like the idea of the valve fo isolate the water supply.thats why I'm trying to use it.

On the right you can't use the copper olive.
You CAN screw the two parts together because they're the same 1/2"bsp thread, but the end in your left hand which is designed for an olive, will have a SHARP end. You will need a rubber or fibre flat washer in there, but the risk is that you will tighten it up too much, and the sharp end will cut the washer.

I plan to file the sharpness down on the pipe to the left. I'll ofcourse use a washer too.
