It's the British way of doing things. All the UK papers do it too, and they refer to Tony Blair as "Mr. Blair" a lot too.
It's meant as a sign of respect (as opposed to the crass, "Bush," often used by U.S. papers), rather than disrespect.

This Australian newspaper also says "Mr. Blair" and "Mr. Chirac." What you (and I) are griping about are the American newspapers which say "Mr. Bush" and "President Hussein."
