Peter's decided to cast the next stone in a respectable, private forum. And so we turn to Hook's MySpace blog (via NME):

never assume anything! This group has SPLIT UP! youare no more new order than i am! you may have two thirds but dont assume you have the rights to do anything NEW ordery cos you dont ive still got a third! But am open to negotiation.
