Why have Tory MPs "stood down"?

So yesterday there were increasing numbers of Tory MPs who were going for a no-confidence vote. Today they've all stood down according to the BBC but I couldn't quite see an explanation as to why or what made them. Then Boris won't go. The hammering that Corbyn got when he refused to stand down and this one refuses and distracts by removing all restrictions and sending everyone back to work. I don't know. I feel as though I should continue to be outraged. I feel that when we stop being outraged about this man's behaviour then we cross another line.

What's going on? And why won't he go? Does he genuinely believe that he was born to rule and that is what he will do? His sense of entitlement? What has he got to gain from staying now? Contracts? Seats on Boards if he leaves on his own terms?

Greased piglet indeed.

They've been threatened with loosing public funding for their constituents, and bribed with personal information being released, according to some news sources.
