There's a theory that Labour want to use this as an opportunity to let the Tories tear themselves apart over this issue, so standing back and letting them get on with it is part of a wider strategy.
Corbyn himself had opposed the single market since its inception, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he is ambivalent towards retaining UK membership.
I just think it's a lost opportunity, by supporting the amendment en masse, Labour could've begun to get support from the pro-European Tories.

Is he playing the 'will of the people' game because he fears losing votes if he doesn't? Unless he has another agenda, I don't really get it
Farage has already congratulated him apparently?!
