I have no idea whether Owen Patterson is guilty of breaching lobbying rules or not but I have very little faith in the Commons Standards Committee and the fairness of its processes, and none whatsoever in Kathryn Stone, who declared him guilty before any investigation.
Couple of useful bits of background to this though. First, Owen Pattersons own account of proceedings, which I found quite disturbing.

And second, and article from Bernard Jenkins, who sits on the "Cross Party" Committee, but had to recuse himself, because he's a Tory.

Britain should have a presidential head of state instead of a constitutional monarchy according to mainly lefty republicans. Hmm...let's take a look at some examples of foreign heads of state, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II...

Remember these?👇
Robert Mugabe - President of Zimbabwe
A liberation "hero" in struggle for independence who transformed himself into a murderous despot, Mugabe arrested and tortured opposition, squeezed economy into astounding negative growth and billion-percent inflation..
Bashar al-Assad - President of Syria
Assad has squandered billions on foreign misadventures in Lebanon and Iraq while neglecting the needs of the Syrian people. Currently barrel bombing and gassing his own population.

Let's imagine if Boris won a majority. We'd be out of the EU at the end of January. There'd be an 11 month transition period (TP) to negotiate an FTA with the EU, after which we'd leave on WTO terms. During the TP we'd be free to negotiate with the USA, Canada, Australia, New /1
Zealand, Japan etc. which would focus the minds of the EU. We'd be independent at the WTO, and still be members of over 100 international organisations, including NATO, UNSC,G5,G8,,G10,G20, Five Eyes, Commonwealth, IMF, ICCt, IEA, ICAO, IAEA, UNESCO, WCO, WHO, OECD. /2
We've secured Trade Continuity Agreements with 48 of the 70 countries that we currently trade with under EU agreements plus Mutual Recognition Agreements with US, Australia and New Zealand plus a temporary MRA with Japan. The remaining countries make up 2.66% of our trade /3
