From The New York Times:
Mr. Watson (Tom Watson, a Labour Party member of Parliament) acquired a shareholder proxy to attend the (News Corp. Annual Shareholders) meeting.
“Be in no doubt, this isn’t just about phone hacking. This company is facing criminal charges from bribing police officers” to perjury, Mr. Watson said on a conference call with reporters. “I don’t think investors have been given the full picture, and that’s really why I’ve decided to come out here.”
Mr. Watson is one of hundreds of investors who will have the opportunity to address Rupert Murdoch, News Corporation chief executive and chairman, and vote on the company’s leadership.
Mr. Watson said he plans to allege further illegal activity at News Corporation, though he would not get into specifics, saying he wants to “save” something for shareholders on Friday.

A News Corp. spokesminion declined to comment on MP Watson's planned appearance. Mwahahahhahaahhaaaaa
A bit more on the story from The Guardian:
Watson, who sits on the Commons culture, media and sport committee which has investigated the scandal, said he would be giving News Corp's shareholders details of previously undisclosed surveillance methods used by the firm that were technologically quite distinct from the phone hacking carried out by NoW staff. He refused to go into details about the allegations he would be making or to offer any evidence to corroborate them.
He said: "I want to leave investors in no doubt that News Corporation is not through the worst of this yet and there are more questions for the Murdochs to answer."
