Looking at the Trump family assembled on stage in West Palm Beach last week, you might have thought they’d gathered for a cocktail party rather than a victory speech. Sequins, shoulder pads and stilettos dominated in a line-up of plastic – and identikit – perfection.

Veteran CNN news anchor Chris Wallace has announced he is leaving the network to venture into the streaming world. Wallace, 77, told the Daily Beast Monday that he decided to forfeit his seven-figure contract, just about a week after he hosted the station’s election night coverage.
