I suggest that Corbyn is in a similar position. If he's happy with a renegotiated deal, he'll ask people to support it.
The two things are quite different.

The deal that was agreed by the Government with the EU was not negotiated by Raab. He was supplanted by May and Robbins, who agreed to things that Raab couldn't. Hence Raab resigned.

The Labour position appears to be that they will negotiate and agree a deal with the EU. They will then hold a referendum on the agreement they have reached with the EU but then campaign against it. You don't think that's bizarre?

Raab's position would only be the same as that of Labour if last year he had not resigned but signed off on the agreement with the EU and then subsequently campaigned against it. But that's not what happened.
