In an interview with the latest Radio Times, Mr Prescott, who has already announced he will not stand at the next General Election, was asked whether he liked the sound of "Lord Prescott".

But he said it was politics rather than titles that interested him.

He told the magazine: "Titles have never excited me, whether it were Deputy Prime Minister or anything like that.

"It's the connection with the politics. I do ask myself if I can cut myself off completely from it.

"But if I say I'm going to do something, I do it properly. Do I really want to be in the Lords five or six days a week doing what I do now?

"I genuinely haven't decided."

It was revealed last week that Mr Prescott admits to not liking Cherie Blair in the forthcoming BBC2 programme, Prescott: The Class System And Me.

The film features the politician and his wife inside "Prescott Towers" in Hull and sees him visit middle and upper class bastions like the Henley Regatta and the Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival.

Mr Prescott told the magazine that while the standard of living had increased considerably in the last 10 years, distribution of wealth was still a problem.
