Our gain from the Tories in Southport was at the expense of the current Tory Mayor. While we are on the subject of Labour, their vote share in Southport was 7%.

Bristol losses were atypical: one where a vilification campaign against LD had been running, other where LDs have promoted the other sitting Cllr (an Asian) for Mayor and triggered an opposition hit campaign. Real problem is there were no LD gains.
