Maybe he's had enough? He doesn't need the money, will get a nice fat ex prime ministerial pension for doing nothing and will could earn a lot with after dinner speaking roles.

Hence, the theory he had a flutter himself.

Seriously, he probably realised things won't get better, so why hang on?
He's no Thatcher, Johnson or Blair on the speaking circuit so don't think he will do much on that front.
