I was actually pretty much just spitballing but I like your interpretation, so I'll go with that. I do believe that Labour under Blair were much more actively shaping the national agenda, instead of just reacting to events initiated by the Tories as Starmer does.

Put even more simply, in the runup to '97, you got the very clear impression that Labour were confident of winning and actively preparing for government while today the leadership shows this consistent lack of nerve that turns people off from them.

it also helped a lot that Blair was young and charismatic, whereas Keir Starmer is Gordon Brittas. this isn't a particular reflection on Starmer, useless poo poo though he is, but rather that the Labour party machine seems to consciously select for Gordon Brittases instead of anyone with a personality and personal dynamism that could bring people along with them. it's a self-perpetuating loop.
