The speculation is that it's a Brexiter, not a Remainer, because of who they leaked it too and because they think Johnson will appoint a more friendly to Brexit-friendly civil servant to the post. There is a reason the Brexit Party are condemning the ambassador and Remainer parties are condemning the leak.
But why is he correct? The ambassador shouldn't be fired for giving his honest opinion in a private diplomatic communication to his own government. It's his job.
In the end, reality meant he had to go which is why the leaker themselves is to blame.
