text: Britain could face another devastating economic crash unless more jobs are created outside the M25, David Cameron warned today. The Conservative leader set out an ambition that three in five new jobs should be created outside London and the South East to prevent a ‘reckless’ economy booming in the capital. He said that the recovery must be seen in every part of the country and not just ‘on the screens of the traders in the City of London’. Tory leader David Cameron says that the recovery must be seen in every part of the country and not just ‘on the screens of the traders in the City of London’ Chancellor George Osborne joined Mr Cameron to launch a North West manifesto at a train depot in Crewe . Latest figures show that there are 2million more people in work than in 2010, and the Tories have promised to create another 2million by 2020. Mr Cameron used a speech in Crewer to insist that the economy is the key issue in the general election. ‘I’m clear – our economy isn’t just about the nation’s statistics, it’s about the nation’s families. ‘It’s about the job you do, the chances your children have, the funding we have for our NHS and schools, the hope we have for our future – everything.’ He warns that as well as securing growth, he wants to rebalance the economy to ensure that ‘success is felt from North, to South, to East, to West’. Mr Cameron said: ‘I didn’t come into this to create some reckless, booming economy just within the M25. ‘That’s what we had before. In Labour’s Britain, where for every ten private sector jobs created in the South, just one was created in the North and the Midlands. ‘In Labour’s Britain, where the whole weight of our economy rested on massive public borrowing, unsustainable financial services, out-of-control immigration…a house of cards – ready to be blown away should any crisis hit.’ The Conservatives are pledging to ‘back business to create 2 million new jobs’,Mr Cameron said. Mr Cameron added: ‘This is my goal – that more than 60 per cent of these will be outside London and the South East. That is what we’ve done in the last Parliament. ‘Because my vision has always been of a truly balanced economy, one built to last, one which is seen not just on the screens of the traders in the City of London. ‘But in the great manufacturing plants of the West Midlands and North East, in tech start-ups from Dundee to Manchester, in the tourist and defence industries of the South West and Wales, the life sciences labs of the East of England: a truly national recovery.’ Speaking in Crewe, Mr Osborne said that Britain's future cannot depend on 'placing all our bets on the success of the City of London almost 200 miles to the South' Mr Cameron set out an ambition that three in five new jobs should be created outside London and the South East to prevent a ‘reckless’ economy booming in the capital. Mr Cameron was joined by Chancellor George Osborne to launch the Tories' plan for the North West. In a speech at a train depot in Crewe, Mr Osborne said reiterated his commitment to the Northern Powerhouse, which includes bringing together high speed rail links, faster county services, new train carriages, extended metrolinks, port facilities, expanded motorways and new roads. He added: 'That Northern Powerhouse is rooted in the idea that there is nothing inevitable about the gap between the North and South in our country growing ever wider. 'It’s part of a vision that our nation’s future no longer depends on placing all our bets on the success of the City of London almost 200 miles to the South – but that we draw on the skills and ingenuity and wealth-creating potential of all of our country. 'And it’s based on the insight that great as the towns and cities of the North are, they can be greater still as the sum of their parts – if we invest in the communication links, the science, the industry, the education, and we trust our great northern communities with control of their own affairs.' The Tories have been boosted by a string of positive economic news in recent weeks, but it has failed to trigger an uptick in their poll ratings. The employment rate is higher in regions like the South West and East of England than it is in London, according to the Office for National Statistics . Unemployment has continued to fall and a record 31 million people are in work, the last jobless figures before the general election showed last week. The jobless total has fallen by 76,000 to 1.84 million in the quarter to February, the lowest for almost seven years. The International Monetary Fund predicts the UK economy will grow by 2.7 per cent this year and 2.3 per cent in 2016, beaten only by the United States. IMF chief Chrstine Lagarage heaped praise on Chancellor George Osborne, telling a press conference in Washington: 'When we look at the comparative growth rates delivered by various countries in Europe it's obvious that what is happening in the UK has actually worked.' And German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Mr Osborne had done 'a wonderful job' in the past two years after strong economic growth.
