How about "the Prime Minister"?
I find the name calling - from both sides of the spectrum - to be tedious.
I do admit to calling Little Angry Andy a number of years ago but only because he always seemed to be.
I use their last names, too. I reserve first names to those personally familiar to me.
Honorifics given to those in politics seem to have all but disappeared over the last 15 years or so. Referring to Ms Ardern, Ms Collins, Mr Bridges etc. comes over as more respectful to me.
