Jason Mohammad takes your calls on the state pension triple lock, playing loud music on public transport and cartoon theme tunes

Should the prime minister drop the triple lock pension pledge? Is it antisocial to play loud audio on public transport? Which cartoon theme tune do you think is the most iconic?

We’re taking your calls today on the future of the state pension triple lock. As Andy Burnham prepares to make his first Labour Party conference speech as Prime Minister, speculation is rife that the government is considering the future of the triple lock. Burnham has not said if he's planning to scrap the commitment, which was in Labour's 2024 manifesto. But a change could be linked to the financing of the PM's new social care plan. Sharon Graham - general secretary of Unite the Union - has warned the Prime Minister that scrapping the triple lock would be "morally wrong." The triple lock, which has been in place for 16 years, means state pensions rise every April by at least 2.5% or in line with the highest of prices or earnings.

Do you think it’s anti-social to play loud audio on public transport? MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis has sparked a heated online debate about train etiquette. He confronted a couple playing social media videos at full volume on a crowded train. When a woman started playing a documentary about serial killers, he asked her to turn it down.

And Welsh singer Mal Pope has released a new version of the iconic Fireman Sam theme tune. This follows a social media trend of rewriting and remixing children's cartoon theme tunes. There are also many A.I. driven reboots to be found online, including Liam Gallagher performing the Ballamory theme, and Morrissey singing the tune to the Teletubbies. Which cartoon theme tune do you think is the most iconic?
