If they didn't the accusation would be they've put party politics ahead of the country.
Besides, politically it's not exactly unhelpful for Labour to have Johnson in the position of passing a bill unpopular with his party using their votes. Labour get to look bipartisan and Johnson has to face a disquiet within his own party. Labour supporting the bill also gives Tory MPs on the fence a reason to safely rebel against the bill pushing that awkwardness higher.
