Time to bed in
"I have absolutely no doubt that the same policy articulated by Jack will not change one iota under Margaret," he said.
He made the comments at his monthly press briefing, just hours before he is due to address backbenchers at the Parliamentary Labour Party.
'Distraction'
Referring to his pre-announcement in 2004 of his plans to step down without fighting a fourth general election, he insisted that "whoever succeeds me has to have the time to bed in and lead the policies of change up to the general election".
He said that unlike former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher he had "no intention of going on and on and on".

I haven't heard the words 'bed in'.
Please tell me.

Hello Rotter "Bed in" means "settle in" or "become established", like a plant in a flower bed. "Lead the policies of change" probably means "establish and promote the policies that will inevitably follow a change of leader". MrP
